‘Tis the season for pumpkin flavored everything! These Chocolate Pumpkin Truffle Balls are the perfect healthy sweet treat for Halloween.

A creamy, dreamy pumpkin filling is covered in a decadent chocolate coating to create the ultimate seasonal sweet. Create the fall-flavored filling by combining pumpkin puree, cashew butter, maple syrup, blanched almond flour and pumpkin pie spice. Throw it in the fridge to set before you roll it into 14 bite-sized balls. Place the pumpkin truffles back into the freezer to firm up a bit while you put together the chocolaty coating.

Once the chocolate is fully melted, dip the pumpkin balls into the chocolate and place them back into the freezer to harden. Store your finished truffles in the fridge or freezer.
