Yes, I wrote about The Best Pumpkin Truffles a couple years ago and I thought it would be great to bring them back to the forefront! They are so delicious and make you happy after taking one bite!
So many clamor for the famed pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks, of which I will admit, am not a fan. There, I said it. I do not like the PSL.
But, I do like these pumpkin truffles, and I know after you try them, you'll like them too.
Here is the recipe!
Pumpkin Truffles
Creamy pumpkin center meets a coating of delicious chocolate making the best pumpkin truffle you will ever eat!

- 1/4 c. confectioner sugar
- 1/2 c. cream cheese softened to room temp
- 3/4 c. graham cracker crumbs original recipe called for 1 cup
- 4 oz chocolate semi-sweet or dark works best, melted
Instructions
- In a bowl, beat pumpkin, sugar and cream cheese (make sure this is at room temperature) until creamy.
- Add in graham cracker crumbs and mix until smooth. Set aside.
- Place chocolate into microwave safe bowl (if using bar chocolate, chop into chunks first) and heat for 30 sec. Stir. If not completely melted, repeat another 30 sec until chocolate is just melted.

They ARE amazingly delicious!! Hard to eat just one!! 🙂
These would make me quite happy!
Yes! Try them…you will see! One bite and you’ll be hooked…and smiling. 🙂
While I wouldn’t touch these (I have a serious issue with chocolate . . . I hate it, which I know is weird, but allows me to stick to my eating plan when all of the dessert options involve the stuff), I’m curious if you’ve had any experience with real pumpkin versus canned pumpkin.
Hmmm. I have used organic canned pumpkin…but haven’t tried fresh pumpkin. This may have to be a “challenge accepted” moment. 😉
I am trying these this weekend!
Great! Let me know how they come out!
So … thoughts on this working with Sunbutter so I can have it for Thanksgiving with my family? 😀
I will have to google Sunbutter…interesting. I bet this would make great buckeyes!
