Pumpkin Spice Truffles

Excuse me while I type over a ginormous pot belly full of brownies.

Does this happen to anyone else?

You know, you gorge on big brownies, wash them down with a pint of milk and suddenly there's a sizable convex shape punching through your t-shirt while no convex-ness is wanted or needed?

Just be aware that I am going to tell you about pumpkin spice truffles despite not having any room to eat any.  Right now, anyway.

So...

pumpkin truffles.

So good.  Bite-size.  Easy to assemble.  Tasty.  No baking required.  Delicious.

Anything else.  I only have a little room left in my torso for inhalation, so my sentences must be short and sweet today.  Plus, these little babies are so simple and quick that they don't need a lot of words.

These will be perfect for fall days.  And, a great snack for those autumn get-togethers and holiday festivities.  It's like an itty bitty individual-sized pumpkin pie.  Plus, a hint of cream cheese?

Even better.

Ok,  I need to take a lap before I explode.  Just trust me.

Make these!




Pumpkin Spice Truffles

1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
1/2 brick of cream cheese
2 tbsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
16 oz. white chocolate


Combine pumpkin, sugar, cream cheese and pumpkin spice in a bowl.

Spoon out about 1 tbsp of the mixture and roll into a ball.  Place each ball on a cookie sheet.

Chill for 1 hour.

Melt white chocolate in a double boiler.  Remove pumpkin balls from refrigerator and dip each into the melted chocolate.  Return to the cookie sheet and chill for an additional hour before serving.
