Ingredients

1 ½ cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
¾ cup peanut butter
¼ cup pumpkin puree
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate for melting and dipping + 4 ounces for just drizzling

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice and Peter Pan® Simply Ground Peanut Butter.
Add the pumpkin and mix well.
Place the bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes to allow to set a bit.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and
Remove the mix from the freezer and roll into truffle balls. We rolled them about 1" placing them on the parchment paper.
Return them to the freezer for about 10-15 minutes again.
Melt your chocolate either in a double boiler or in the microwave.
Remove balls from the freezer and dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate.
It's your choice if you want to dip the whole thing or leave some uncovered. We liked how the semi-covered ones looked so we didn't roil them, we only dipped them.
Return each dipped ball to the parchment paper to dry.
Once all are dipped, refrigerate at least 15 minutes to allow chocolate to harden completely. Bites should be kept in the refrigerator and are a GREAT gift idea!
