How to Make CHOCOLATE PUMPKIN PECAN TRUFFLES

Step-by-Step

Over low heat, melt 4 ounces chocolate in a microwave or double boiler. Add creamer and brown sugar; mix thoroughly. Set aside to cool.
Add the pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, vanilla, and salt to the melted chocolate mixture; mix well.
Stir in the pecans until just mixed. Cover and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 1 hour, or until hard.
In a microwave or double boiler, melt remaining 12 ounces chocolate and oil, stirring until very smooth. Remove from heat. Using a fork, dip each ruffle in chocolate until well coated; place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
