Pumpkin Shaped Chocolate Truffles

These pumpkin shaped chocolate truffles are the perfect treat for your Halloween or Thanksgiving dessert table.

One of my good friends, Regina, also has a blog called Molly Mel.  Regina often features Brazilian treats, such as Brigaderos, with her readers and she has shared a Halloween take on the Brigadero that is perfect for the holidays. 

Halloween is such a fun time of the year to make and decorate themed desserts for the holiday or a party table. The look of the sweet treats just seems to put everyone in a party mood!

Whip up a Halloween treat with these pumpkin shaped chocolate truffles.

I love all of Regina’s chocolate dessert ideas. They are flavorful and so much fun.  She has a knack for making them look festive too.  The truffles are bite sized and make the perfect snack.  I love the sugar crystals on the top.  They really add a delightful presentation.

Thanks for sharing this sweet treat with my readers, Regina.  And if you like this one, be sure to head over to Regina’s blog Molly Mel and have a look at some of her other dessert ideas. You will be glad you did!

Brighten up your Halloween party table with these pumpkin shaped chocolate truffles.

Cook Time 10 minutes

Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons white chocolate powder
• 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tablespoons of butter
• a few drops of Food coloring (combine yellow & red to achieve the orange color)
• Orange sugar crystals
• 25 Semi-sweet morsels to decorate

Instructions

1. Mix together the condensed milk, chocolate powder, butter, and food coloring in a saucepan over medium-low heat being sure to stir constantly until the mixture becomes thick and shiny, and starts to pull away from the bottom & sides of the pan.
2. Remove from the heat and pour the mixture into a greased plate.
3. Let the mixture cool completely before rolling it into small balls.Putting it in the fridge helps.
4. When the mixture has cooled, rub some softened butter on your hands. Using a small spoon scoop out the chocolate mixture and roll it into small balls.
5. Roll each ball in the sugar crystals and place them in paper candy cups. To make the pumpkin shape press the top gently, and with a slightly wet toothpick make creases all around it. Add a chocolate biton top of each candy to resemble the pumpkin stem.
