  • 32 ounces vanilla almond bark Can substitute with dark chocolate.
  • 1 tablespoon room temperature butter Enhances creaminess of the filling.
  • to taste optional spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger) Add to the mixture for additional flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Crumble the pie: In a large mixing bowl, crumble the entire prepared pumpkin pie, including the crust, using a fork or potato masher.
  3. Shape the truffles: Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, drop balls of the pie mixture onto the lined baking sheet, aiming for about 20-24 truffles.
  4. Freeze the truffles: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 25-30 minutes or until firm.
  5. Roll them smooth: Once firm, roll each portion into a smooth ball and return to the freezer for an additional 30 minutes.
  6. Prep for dipping: Line another baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. Melt the almond bark: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the almond bark, heating for 60 seconds, stir, then heat in 15-second increments until melted and creamy.
  8. Dip the truffles: Remove the truffles from the freezer and dip each one into the melted almond bark, ensuring they are completely covered.
  9. Transfer to parchment: Using a fork, lift each truffle out and slide it onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  10. Repeat for all truffles, continuing until all are coated.
  11. Set the truffles: Refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until the almond bark has set nicely.
Storage
  1. Once set, store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  2. Can be frozen well-wrapped for up to 2 months.
