  • 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs , plus more for garnish
  • 1 tbsp confectioners'' sugar
  • 1/2 tsp orange zest

  • i added some chopped walnuts to sprinkle on top

Directions:

  4. Add gingersnap crumbs, pumpkin, graham cracker crumbs, sugar, zest, cinnamon, salt and cream cheese and beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
  5. Transfer to a shallow bowl, cover and chill until just solid enough to roll into balls, about 2 hours.
  6. Line a large sheet tray with parchment paper.
  7. Melt remaining 2 cups chocolate and transfer to a small, deep bowl. Roll 1 heaping teaspoon of the pumpkin mixture into a ball in your hands, then drop into the chocolate.
  8. Working quickly, gently spoon chocolate over to coat.
  9. Using a small spoon or fork, lift the truffle out of the chocolate, shake off excess and transfer to prepared sheet tray.
  10. Dollop a bit of extra chocolate on any parts that remain exposed, then sprinkle a few gingersnap or graham cracker crumbs over the top, if you like.
  11. Repeat process with remaining pumpkin mixture and chocolate, then chill truffles until chocolate is completely set, about 1 hour.
  12. ***You could add a few tablespoons of Pumpkin Liqueur or rum to the cream cheese before rolling for a more adult flavor... These would look great in any gift basket!
