Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, add the canned pumpkin, cream cheese, butter, pumpkin pie spice, and sweetened condensed milk. Heat over medium-low for about 5 minutes until smooth and thickened.
  2. Once your mixture is smooth, add the white chocolate chips and graham cracker crumbs. Stir well until fully combined.
  3. Remove from heat and, if desired, mix in food coloring. Spread mixture onto a buttered baking sheet and cool for at least 2 hours.
  4. Roll the chilled mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place on a parchment-lined tray.
  5. Roll each truffle in granulated sugar for a sweet finish. Optionally, drizzle with chocolate and place a chip on top.
  6. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
