Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Combine cream cheese and powdered sugar in a bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add pumpkin puree; beat until combined. Add 1 3/4 cups wafer crumbs, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon; beat until everything is combined and the mixture is soft and thick, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Roll pumpkin mixture into teaspoon-sized balls and place onto the prepared baking sheets.

Step 4

Place white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high power until chocolate is completely melted and smooth, about 1 minute.
