Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Blot the pumpkin purée with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add pumpkin, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt, mixing until smooth.
  3. Fold in graham cracker or gingersnap crumbs until absorbed. If too soft, chill for 15-20 minutes.
  4. Scoop portions and roll them into balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for another 30 minutes.
  5. Melt chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in intervals, stirring until smooth. If desired, add coconut oil for creaminess.
  6. Dip each ball into the melted coating, tapping off excess. Decorate while wet with crushed cookies, sprinkles, or drizzles.
  7. Allow to set at room temperature for 15-20 minutes or refrigerate to set quickly. Serve slightly chilled.
