12 -
Crushed graham crackers for garnish (optional)

Edible gold sprinkles (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Use a food processor to blitz the graham crackers until they look like fine sand.
02 -
Toss the cream cheese, pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and salt in with the cracker crumbs. Pulse until it clumps into a dough.
03 -
Scoop the dough into a bowl, cover it, and pop it in the fridge to cool down for around 5 minutes.
04 -
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough into 20 equal pieces and roll them into small balls. Place the balls on a tray lined with parchment paper.
05 -
Put the tray of dough balls in the freezer for 10 minutes so they firm up and won’t fall apart.
06 -
Melt the white chocolate gently either using a microwave in short bursts or with a double boiler until it’s all runny and smooth.
07 -
Grab each cold dough ball, dip it in the melted chocolate, and tap off extra chocolate with a fork. Lay them back on the parchment.
08 -
Sprinkle crushed crackers or gold sprinkles over the wet chocolate. Let them sit until the coating completely hardens.
# Notes:

Skip the individual spices and just use 3 teaspoons of ready-made pumpkin pie spice if you'd like.
