These pumpkin truffles are essentially the popular Starbucks seasonal beverage in a bite-sized dessert form. Created by Sheri Silver at the blog Donuts, Desserts and Dirt, the pumpkin spice latte truffles are a truly autumnal treat. They are also a fancier option to bring to a social gathering this fall.
Perfect for Halloween parties, the yummy pumpkin truffles are easy to make and delicious to eat. The recipe is adapted from Bran Appetit and calls for ingredients including good quality white chocolate chips (chopped white chocolate will also work well), pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, instant espresso, vanilla, graham cracker crumbs and vegetable shortening. You can also add extra toppings such as orange candy melts, graham cracker crumbs or instant espresso for a more festive finish.
