Pumpkin Mascarpone Truffle Candy is a tasty candy with flavor in between, pumpkin pie, cheesecake, and truffles. This delicious edible tidbit is chock-full of pumpkin flavor enveloped in a thin white chocolate layer. A perfect autumnal treat for every age. Indeed, it would make a great placeholder with a name card for Thanksgiving. Incidentally, it would make a great guest gift. Each guest could get a small box or plastic bag with 4 Truffles each. Not to mention these little chocolates would make perfect homemade stocking stuffer gifts for all kids or grandkids. Needless to say, why not create a family tradition and memories for your kids and/or grandkids?  Talk about being a popular grandparent.Truffles on a plate and in a small bowl with a pumpkin behind it.

Pumpkin Mascarpone Truffle Candy

In any case, these bite-size pieces of candy are addictive. Nevertheless, it is so irresistible that you won’t want to share. Hence, it reminds me of my childhood.

In conclusion, I grew up in Ririe, Idaho a very small town. Back in those days, for example, families would invite you into their homes. Every host would give each child hot chocolate or hot apple cider and homemade goodies such as candied apples, divinity, fudge, and popcorn balls. Last but not least, some of the elderly would provide a craft for each child to complete. Because it was a small town everyone knew everyone we felt safe going inside the homes. While this sounds like ages ago it was not for me. Today this would be considered insane.

However, these candies could be made for a child’s Halloween party or make them with Bourbon and make them for an Adult costume Halloween party.

Candy Making:

Nevertheless, this is a quick and easy candy. Incidentally, I use my Swedish Gingersnap recipe and turn them into crumbs. Next, combine cookie crumbs, mascarpone, pumpkin, and spices. No food processor is necessary.  Simply use a rolling pin and a plastic bag. Candy can be placed in candy molds or the smallest cookie scoop can be used. If using a cookie scoop simply dip the truffles into melted chocolates. Not to mention, these little treats are hard to pass up. They are an amped-up cheesecake pumpkin truffle.

Below are Nutritional Facts without the Bourbon. Makes approximately 36 truffles.
