Who said chocolate is bad, this is great recipe, yumm


It's so good!!!!!!!! i'm going to buy pumpkin puree :)


What a creative combination of flavors- This sounds delicious!


This looks like a great treat - will be trying these!


I tried this. I followed the directions exactly. It was mostly like fudge balls. They tasted way more like almond fudge balls then pumpkin. I'm going to make these again, and I'm going to add less chocolate, more pumpkin, and do a chocolate coating on the outside.

Amazing!!


I just made these and they are awesome!!!

I kind of manipulated the recipe a bit... a little bit on purpose and a little by accident :-P

I added less cookies and almonds, more pumpkin, and coated them in chocolate with ground almonds sprinkled on top....

By accident... I forgot the water/vanilla in the first batch... they're a little dry, but I'm thrilled with them non the less...

Just call me June Cleaver :-P


Oh my gosh, this recipe looks absolutely wonderful! I never thought of using those ingredients to make truffles and now I can't wait to make them. Thank you so much for a unique twist to preparing truffles Jo_Jo. This recipe most definitely deserves "5" forks!
