Ingredients

  • 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice, divided
  • 2 pkg. (4 oz. each) BAKER'S Bittersweet Chocolate, broken into small pieces

Directions

  1. Beat cream cheese in large bowl with mixer until creamy. Add graham crumbs, sugar, and 3/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice; mix well.
  2. Scoop cream cheese mixture into 22 (1-inch) balls, using about 1 Tbsp. cream cheese mixture for each ball. Place on waxed paper-covered baking sheet. Freeze 10 min.

Kitchen Tips:
  1. Size Wise- These portion-controlled sweet treats can fit into a balanced eating plan when enjoyed on occasion.
  2. Note -If necessary, re-roll each partially frozen cream cheese ball into round ball before dipping in the melted chocolate. Since the cream cheese balls will soften quickly at room temperature, remove them from the freezer in small batches before dipping in chocolate as directed.
  3. How to Evenly Portion the Cream Cheese Mixture- Use a small cookie scoop to evenly portion the cream cheese mixture for each truffle.
