White Chocolate Pumpkin Truffles

AKA what happens when I have a three day weekends.

These were AMAZING. I'm going to try a dark chocolate version for next week's Pumpkin Party at work, but the white chocolate was pretty stellar on its own.

Adapted from Erin's Food Files.

Ingredients

--Filling--
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup crushed GF shortbread cookies (save a few tablespoons for topping)
1/4 cup pumpkin
1/4 tsp cinnamon sugar
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt

--Coating--
2 cups white chocolate chips
2 tbsp milk


Instructions

1. Melt white chocolate chips in microwave for 2 min in 30 sec increments. Crush shortbread cookies with a pestle until finely ground.


2. Mix all ingredients until smooth. Refrigerate for an hour.


3. Melt additional chocolate with splash of milk, pour over spoonfuls of pumpkin mixture, covering completely. Tuck under bottom side to get full coverage.


4. Dust with remaining crumbs, let sit for an hour to set. I stuck mine in the fridge, and they came together really well.
