Pumpkin Pie Truffles. Why not surprise your Thanksgiving guests with these cute little bites of pie!
Pumpkin Pie Truffles
by Shugary Sweets
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
- pinch of salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- 3 cup white chocolate morsels
- 20 marshmallows (regular sized)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 24 oz vanilla candy coating (white bark)
Instructions
In large pot, mix sugars, butter, milk, pumpkin, cinnamon, salt, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and allspice. Stir and bring to a boil. Continue to boil over medium heat for 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
Stir in white chocolate morsels, vanilla, and marshmallows until melted. Mixture will get thick and dull. Pour into a mixing bowl (or use a hand-held mixer) and beat for about 2 minutes until smooth consistency.
If making fudge, pour into a parchment lined 13×9 pan. Set aside to cool. Cut into bite sized pieces.
If making truffles, place mixing bowl with fudge in refrigerator to set about 30-60 minutes. Using a small scoop, or tablespoon, scoop out balls of fudge, roll, and place on baking sheet. Once all fudge is rolled, melt the candy coating. Using a toothpick, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, tap the side of the dish to let the excess run off, then set on a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat for all truffles.
I like to dress them up a bit so I melted 1/4 cup dark chocolate morsels, and 1/4 cup orange candy melts in a dish. Melt in microwave (I did 30 second intervals), and pour into a ziploc bag. Snip off the end and drizzle over the white chocolate truffles.
Refrigerate for best flavor!

These look and sound heavenly! I’ve been trying to gather up a few recipes to make as fall treats for my kids’ teachers for their Halloween parties. This looks like the perfect addition. Thanks for sharing on Sweet Indulgences Sunday.
Hi! Just stopping back by to let you know that this recipe was tied for the #1 spot on last week’s Sweet Indulgences Sunday. Hope you’ll stop by this weekend and share another recipe!

I was just randomly stumbling and ended up here!! Gotta love Stumble!
What beautiful truffles! Thank you for sharing.
Just doing some stumbling this morning before my kids wake up and this page showed up! I remember reading it earlier this fall, but not commenting. These look delicious!
Thanks for sharing!
I tried these the other day and I don’t know what happened but they are not a truffle like consistancy. I’m thinking next time I try them, I’ll leave the marsh mellows out. But the flavor is awesome.
Do you think these would work if butterscotch chips were used rather than white chocolate?
You can dip them in melted butterscotch. The taste would be different, but give it a try!
This recipe won’t set. very disappointed. I did everything according to the recipe and mixed it vigorously and..still it never became thick. I even put it in the freezer.
