I guess it’s safe to say that my pumpkin kick continues! I wanted to give you a Pumpkin Spiced Version of my Secretly Healthy Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Truffles (if you haven’t tried those you must).
These truffles are great as a snack, a treat or on the side with our Vegan Version of the Pumpkin Spiced Latte with Caramel Drizzle.
If you love pumpkin having a container of these little delicious bites in your freezer is perfect this time of year. They are quick-to-grab, high fiber, nutrient dense bites that boast the wonderful flavors of Fall.
At the center of these truffles you will find the flavors of Pumpkin Pie with a hint of cheesecake then coated with a creamy, sweet, cinnamon sugar coating.
