Pumpkin Spice Truffles
Ingredients
- 16 oz dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup pumpkin spice coffee creamer
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 cup cocoa powder (plus 2 Tablespoons)
- 1 bag orange candy melts
- 2 Tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 can green icing or mix white icing with green food coloring
- 5 pieces tootsie roll
Instructions
- Combine chocolate chips, coffee creamer, vanilla, cinnamon, and 1/8 cup cocoa powder in a microwave-safe mixing bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, stirring every 15-30 seconds, until melted. Whisk together until smooth.
- Cover your truffle mixture and refrigerate for about 2 hours to set.
- When ready to make your pumpkin spice truffles, remove your pumpkin chocolate batter from fridge. Place remaining cocoa powder in a small bowl. Dust hands with cocoa powder to prepare.
- Using a spoon, scoop about 1 tablespoon of truffle into your hands and roll into a ball.
- Roll the ball in cocoa powder and place onto a plate. Repeat steps until all the chocolate is used.
- Place plate into freezer to set (at least 1-2 hours, or overnight if you've planned ahead).
- Using a double boiler, melt the orange candy melts together with the coconut oil.
- Once melted, dip the truffle into the chocolate and place onto wax or parchment paper. Repeat with all chocolate balls.
- Allow coating to dry for 30 minutes.
- Cut tootsie rolls into small pieces, one for each truffle you made. Roll those small bits of tootsie roll into a rod shape and stick into the top of each truffle, in the middle. This will be the stem.
- Using a piping bag and a leaf tip to create leaves out of green frosting. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
- Enjoy as a treat, or drop a truffle in your coffee or a glass of hot cocoa to add a burst of fall flavor to your favorite drink!
