  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  3. Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion out the mixture and roll into balls on parchment paper.
  4. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. Melt chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, then dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, covering completely.
