Ingredients

  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp. powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 24 oz vanilla almond bark

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • Measure out about 1/4 cup of the graham cracker crumbs and set them aside to sprinkle over the finished truffles.
  • Add the pumpkin puree, the remaining graham cracker crumbs, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon to the bowl. Stir until everything is evenly combined and a soft dough forms.
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until it's firm enough to roll without sticking.
  • Line a large baking sheet or tray with parchment paper. Scoop and roll the chilled mixture into 1-inch balls, placing them on the prepared baking sheet as you go.
  • Place the vanilla almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each one, until the coating is completely smooth and melted.
  • Using a fork or dipping tool, coat each pumpkin ball in the melted almond bark. Lift it out, allowing any excess coating to drip back into the bowl.
  • Return each coated truffle to the parchment-lined baking sheet and immediately sprinkle the tops with the reserved graham cracker crumbs before the coating begins to set.
  • Let the truffles sit at room temperature for about 1 hour, or until the coating is fully firm. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.

Notes

The amount of vanilla almond bark is generous, so if you'd like to make a larger batch, you can double all of the remaining ingredients and still have enough coating for 40+ truffles.
