Ingredients
 

  • ¼ cup pumpkin puree
  • 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 8 oz. chocolate candy coating (or about 1 cup chocolate chips melted with 2 tsp. shortening, veg. oil or coconut oil)
  • optional: sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, beat pumpkin puree, butter, and sugars with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes). Mix in milk and vanilla. Add flour, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg and mix on low until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Chill dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until firm enough to roll or scoop into 1-inch balls. Place rolled balls on a wax paper lined baking sheet and place in the freezer for at least 15 minutes or up to an hour.
  • Melt candy coating following instructions on the package. If using chocolate chips, melt in the microwave 30 seconds at a time until smooth, stirring in between every 30 seconds. Remove a couple of balls from the freezer at a time and dip in melted chocolate using a fork or a dipping tool. Remove from chocolate and holding it above the chocolate let excess chocolate drip down. Place on wax paper. If using sprinkles, add after dipping 2-3 truffles. Continue until all truffles are covered in chocolate.
  • Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to a week.
