🕒 Prep Time: 15 min
🕒 Cook Time: 10 min
🕒 Chill Time: 2 hours
🕒 Total Time: 2 hours 25 min

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup canned pumpkin puree
• 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• ½ cup graham cracker crumbs
• ⅓ cup white chocolate chips
• Orange food coloring (optional – or red + yellow)
• Granulated sugar, for rolling
• Chocolate chips (for “pumpkin stems”)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Cook the base mixture:
   In a skillet over medium heat, combine butter, cream cheese, pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and combines smoothly. 🍂
2. Melt in the mix-ins:
   Add graham cracker crumbs and white chocolate chips. Continue stirring until the chips melt and the mixture is thick and smooth. Add food coloring now if using — just a few drops will give it that festive pumpkin hue!
3. Thicken properly:
   Keep stirring until the dough pulls away cleanly from the sides and bottom of the skillet. If in doubt, cook a little longer — thicker is better here.
4. Chill to firm up:
   Transfer the mixture to a butter-greased baking sheet, spread evenly, and refrigerate until firm (at least 2 hours or overnight).
5. Roll into pumpkins:
   Once chilled, rub butter on your hands (to prevent sticking), and roll into small, even-sized balls.
6. Sugar coat & shape:
   Roll each ball in granulated sugar. Use a toothpick to gently press lines along the sides to mimic pumpkin ridges. 🎃
7. Add stems:
   Top each truffle with a chocolate chip, point-side up, for the cutest little stem.
8. Serve or store:
   Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to enjoy.

🎃 Pro Tips:

• Storage: Keep truffles chilled in the fridge for up to 5 days.
• Make ahead: Prep the dough up to 2 days in advance before shaping.
• Flavor boost: Add a splash of vanilla extract for extra warmth.
