Better than Expected

Angela A. from GLENDALE, AZ

I wasn't sure about how the vanilla wafers would affect the taste, but these truffles are amazing. The pumpkin/chocolate combination is irresistibly delicious. I will definitely be making these again and again and again. I used apple juice and it tastes fine.
Not enough pumpkin flavor

Lanae Santos from KANEOHE, HI

The alcohol flavor came out more than the pumpkin flavor. I was a little disappointed.

Class Hit

Cryss Conroy from Scottdale, PA

My son and I found this recipe (we all love anything to do with pumpkin) and tried it for his birthday treat to his classmates. They all loved it! Whenever I go to the school, kids come up asking when I'm making more truffles. We also have made the truffles for church youth group fundraisers and planning on scout project too. Kids love to make them and eat them, we even get to sell a few too.

Rich Chocolate Pumpkin Truffles Review

Libby Hoggatt from SAN FRANCISCO, CA

This was the first attempt I have made to make truffles of any kind. They were rich and chocolaty: but I couldn't taste the pumpkin. I gave a plate of them to a neighbor and he loved them too. I substituted the orange juice in my recipe. I will make them again. It was very easy too.
Excellent!!

Greta Kirby from CARTHAGE, TN

I made these for a club fundraiser and they disappeared fast! Will definitely make again!
just okay

Stacy Beyer from ROYAL PALM BEACH, FL

these truffles tasted good, but the texture didn't seem right with the crushed up cookies. next time i'll grind the cookies.
Easy

Brandy Fisher from TULSA, OK

These went over well at Thanksgiving. However, the Kahlua seemed to overpower the pumpkin a bit. I guess I'll try juice next time.
Fun to do and good

Gretchen McCray from PHOENIX, AZ

When I first found this recipe I thought "it is so simple" Wow it's simple and great and the kids had a great time rollling the truffles and coming up with new and intresting this to cover the candys with. We tried crushed pretzels and they are really very good.
awesome alternative to pumpkin pie

kristin ozdych from FARMINGTON HILLS, MI

excellent, easy to make and you can swap ingredients to change up the flavor(i.e. white chocolate, pumpkin pie spice, and different fruit juices). These will grace my turkey table for years to come.
Wonderful Truffles

cindy stewart-birdwell from nicholasville, KY

These truffles are SO good! They are so easy to make and look like you spent a lot of time and trouble. They make wonderful little gifts, wrapped up two at a time in cellophane bags, tied with raffia! The substitution of orange juice for the liquor make these taste just as good...and kid friendly! The use of coffee liquor really adds a richness and makes these extra special! Everyone loved them!
Yummy

Erica Osting from DOUGLASSVILLE, PA

I've never made truffles before. These were VERY easy to make, and have a wonderful flavor. I don't taste the pumpkin, really...taste more chocolate than anything, but STILL very good!

Rich Chocolate Pumpkin Truffles

Barbara Laskowski from FALLS CITY, TX

I was looking for something different to serve at a wedding shower when I ran across this recipe. It was a huge hit: elegant, easy and delicious. What more could you ask for? Pumpkin isn't just for fall and winter anymore.
Wonderful

Cecilia DeBorde from TYBEE ISLAND, GA

I love easy and delicious recipes:this is one of the best.

De Murphy from ROSEVILLE, CA

Tasted better a couple days later!

Jennifer Webb from CHESTER, VA

I made these for Thanksgiving and they were a big hit. I had a few I'd left at home and when we got into them almost a week later, they tasted even better than the first couple days after I made them. They were very easy to make, I used the apple juice instead and they turned out great.

LYNNE KRIEGER from YACOLT, WA

WONDERFUL TREATS. EVVERYONE ENJOYED THEM. MAKES GREAT GIFTS. THEY ARE A KEEPER.
EXCELLENT

Rebecca Rahmel from Chicago, IL

These are fantastic. Just the right mix of flavors....and they were very easy to make!
Rich and tasty

Judi Schimke from SEATTLE, WA

These truffles were quite easy to make....and they are so rich. I did let the mixture "sit" for about a half hour to let everything meld together, before I rolled them into balls and it made it much easier to work with. They look quite elegant on the dessert tray and I did get raves.
Rich & Chocolatey

Ruth Byrd from Klamath Falls, OR

These are great if you like rich chocolate flavor but I found it overpowered the pumpkin and was too rich & sweet. I used the applejuice which may have added to the sweetness so if I try it again I will use the liquer and maybe try a different morsel such as peanut butter or butterscotch.

Ruth Minsk-Whitehead from OCALA, FL

Soooo easy and sooooo elegant. Everyone thinks you've spent hours making them. I add coffee liquor to raspberry liquor, amaretto....you name it!
Rave Reviews!

JAN WILKINS from BLYTHEVILLE, AR

These are so good.....especially around the Holidays. I plan to give them hostess gifts Nov/Dec. May even put in my gift baskets.
So Simple

Lliana Palmer from Staten Island, NY

I used the apple juice since it was all I had on hand rather than the liquor. These were gobbled up- I used mini cup cake holders to store them in and they looked so professional! Great Recipe

pumpkin truffles

JACKIE ARCHER from CLINTON, IA

These were an elegant, but easy to make dessert. a not-so-sweet version of the traditional truffle. No one will be able to guess your secret ingredient.
Rich Chocolate Pumpkin Truffles

Alice Keeney from STRONGSVILLE, OH

These melt in your mouth. The raspberry liquor suggested by another baker also sounds good. There are endless variations you could try with this.

Nancy Oltman from HASTINGS, NE

These sounded so simple, I just had to try them. The only change I made was to add chopped english walnuts. They were a hit at our ladies group for Valentine's Day.

Chocolate Pumpkin Truffles

Phyllis Barber-Smith from EAST WINDSOR, CT

This was such and easy idea, I decided to try it with some alternative ingredients...I had just baked sugar cookies, and you know sometimes the shapes don't come out just right, well, rather than trow out the scraps, try crunching them up! Mixed with the chocolate, pumpkin and nuts (pecans in my case)what a wonderful treat!! My kids devoured them!
Potluck hit!

CARRIE HAMILTON from KALAMAZOO, MI

This was very easy and quick to make. They disappeared quickly when I took them to a potluck!
Supper

CINDY STANTON from SAINT PETERSBURG, FL

These Truffles are really good and so easy to make.
A wonderful treat!

NONI SHEARER from KISSIMMEE, FL

I find these to be the ultimate in candy treats. I love truffles and have several different recipes. These are one of my favorites. Next time I think I will use black walnuts. I love the taste of pumpkin and black walnuts. The chocolate will be the "frosting on the cake (candy)" In this case as i am a confirmed chocoholic.
Rich Chocolate Pumpkin Truffles

YVONNE GERBER from PRESCOTT, AZ

This is an easy and simple recipe and the truffles are small. Easy to eat for a dessert. My family really likes these.
Rich Chocolate Pumpkin Truffles

N. THOMPSON from CHICAGO, IL

Delicious and easy to make - I rolled some of them in powdered sugar and some in granulated sugar. I tried a new batch with rum flavor and they were also good.
My Husband Was Right

WENDY GULBIS from ROCKFORD, MI

I had printed out this recipe but never got around to making it. My husband thought the truffles sounded good and asked me to make them for Christmas,and he was right! They are different but very delicious. We even liked them better after waiting a week to finish the few I managed to save for later. It seemed the flavors blended more.

Rich Chocolate Pumpkin Truffles

Marlene Roddy from HENDERSON, NV

Easy to make, but next time I would use less cinnamon. I "rolled" these truffles in powder sugar, some in colored sugar and some in chopped nuts to make a holiday presentation. Nice touch with afternoon coffee
Pumpkin Truffles

Angel Schmitz from Laurel, MD

Yummy! these were fairly quick to make, a bit on the sweet side. When making them again, I'll probably reduce the amount of sugar, but make them again? Oh yes!!

Glenn Lewis from LODI, CA

Rich, delicious & elegant, yet so simple to make & bake.

PENNI FUENTES from HYATTSVILLE, MD

Great end to a meal

Eddie Huey from Baltimore, MD

Made some of these for serving along with coffee after a meal. Everyone loved them for their unique taste and they were bite sized.
these were ok

Taren Weidaw from ALLENTOWN, PA

these could have used a little more pumpkin. Also, they seemed easy to make, but the presentation wasn't as nice as I expected.
Scrumptious

Mary DeJesus from San Francisco, CA

I made these to share on Thanksgiving but had to sample them first and am so pleased with the ease of preparation, the taste and texture. I always look for a new pumpkin treat at this time of year and this one is a keeper. However, they were very sweet, so I think I will not add the 1/2 cup powdered sugar next time.
