   These Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Truffles are an amazing dessert!

   Ingredients

   * 4oz of cream cheese room temp.

   * 1/4 cup of 100% pure canned pumpkin

   * 2 Tbsp of confectioners sugar

   * 1 Tsp pumpkin pie spice

   * 1cup of Graham cracker crumbs

   * Vanilla candy coating

   * Yellow & Red Food dye

   * Orange Sanding sugar

   * Green gel icing

   Instructions

   1. In a medium bowl, use handheld mixer to blend cream cheese, pumpkin, confectioners sugar and pumpkin pie spice until fully incorporated and smooth

   2. Add Graham Cracker crumbs to cream cheese mixture and use spatula to gently combine. Cover bowl and refrigerate 2 hours

   3. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape tablespoons of refrigerated mixture into balls; arrange in single layer on a baking sheet. Chill in refrigerator for 30 min.

   4. Five minutes before moving truffles from refrigerator, prepare candy coating according to package directions. Add a drop of each yellow and red food dye and stir to combine. Continue adding food coloring until desired orange hue is achieved(if you can find orange food dye that works just as well)

   5. Line large plate with parchment paper. Using a fork, lift truffle and dip into melted candy coating letting excess drip off before transferring to parchment lined plate. Sprinkle with orange sanding sugar and create tendrils for the pumpkin stem with green gel icing. Repeat for remaining truffles. If candy coating starts to harden or thicken, microwave 15 seconds. (Note: put on sanding sugar right after dipping in candy coating to ensure the sanding sugar sticks to ball)

   6. Place plate of truffles in refrigerator for about 5 minutes to allow candy coating to harden. Serve and enjoy and refrigerate any leftovers.
