I made these pumpkin truffles about two weeks ago and I was very eager to share with you last week. However, I couldn’t find some time to write the post. So today I present you these chocolate covered pumpkin truffles that are perfect for Halloween. In just two weeks this holiday will be here so you can make pumpkin truffles for your Halloween occasion. Moreover, you don’t have to just wait exactly for Halloween you can make them all year long!
Honestly, I see these truffles for adult parties. My younger son ate the chocolate only and not the middle part, my older son said he doesn’t like them much. I am telling the truth and I want to be honest with you. They are delicious and I couldn’t stop eating them and my friend she was grabbing for more. But not all children loves my chocolate pumpkin truffles. Out of 3 children, one child loved them.
For me they are one of the best truffles I made, healthy pumpkin puree, graham crackers, cashews and a hint of orange. This is what you need in your life this fall! You won’t even believe how pumpkin and orange pairs nicely together. You can taste all pumpkin, nutmeg, orange, cinnamon. All flavors in one truffle. I can tell you when you start eating them you will be grabbing for more.
