Ingredients:

Directions:

1. With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and confectioner's sugar together in a large bowl until creamy - about 2 minutes. 

2. Add the pumpkin and beat on high until combined. Then, add the graham cracker crumbs, Pumpkin Spice Frappe mix, rum, and melted chocolate. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until everything is combined. The mixture is supped to be soft and thick. 

3. Cover mixture tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Chilling is mandatory.

4. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.

5. Begin rolling chilled mixture into balls (about 1 teaspoon per ball) and place the balls on the baking sheets. You should have around 25 total. Chill balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

6. During the last few minutes of the chilling time, begin melting the chocolate. You can melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave. Let the warm chocolate sit for 5 minutes to slightly cool before dipping. 

7. Remove balls from the refrigerator and dip them in the chocolate, use a dipping tool if desired. Place back on the baking sheet after you dip each one and top with graham cracker crumbs if desired. Allow to cool in refrigerator completely before serving.

*Tip: If you want to make truffles ahead of time, layer truffles between parchment paper in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in refrigerator.
