A delicious no bake Pumpkin Spice Truffle that can be enjoyed as a chocolate treat, or add it to a mug of hot milk for a Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate Bomb! These super cute Pumpkin Chocolates make a great homemade gift for the PSL lovers in your life.
Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate Truffles Recipe
Chocolate and pumpkin spice are a match made in flavor heaven.
The flavors play off each other perfectly for a not-too-sweet, slightly spicy and warm flavor profile that will pique your tastebuds and make it impossible to stop at just one truffle!
While this recipe is super easy and no-bake, my favorite thing about it is it’s versatility. You can enjoy the pumpkin truffles as-is for a light dessert, or pop one in a mug of warm milk and stir for a rich cup of pumpkin spice-flavored hot chocolate. I personally like adding it to a late evening latte, placing my truffle in the cup before adding the espresso and hot milk so that it melts completely.
The candy coating and pumpkin stem decorations are completely optional and can be left off to make this recipe quicker and easier. They are just a cute way to serve or gift this recipe.
If serving to guests or at a party as a hot chocolate bomb, I would serve the mug of milk (or latte) with the truffle on the side and allow your guest to drop in their truffle and stir to melt. A bit of dining theatre is always fun! (Who says it’s just kids who like to play with their food?!)
These pumpkin spice truffles can be frozen, as long as you haven’t added the candy coating, as that will crack when frozen and then “sweat” when brought back to room temperature. You can add the candy coating after they have come back to room temperature, though, if desired.

How to Make Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate Truffles
Combine chocolate chips, coffee creamer, vanilla, cinnamon, and 2 Tablespoons of the cocoa powder in a microwave-safe mixing bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, stirring every 15-30 seconds, until melted. Whisk together until smooth.
Cover your truffle mixture and refrigerate for about 2 hours to set.
When ready to make your pumpkin spice truffles, remove your pumpkin chocolate batter from fridge. Place remaining cocoa powder in a small bowl. Dust hands with cocoa powder to prepare.
Using a spoon, scoop about 1 tablespoon of truffle into your hands and roll into a ball.
Roll the ball in cocoa powder and place onto a plate. Repeat steps until all the chocolate is used.
Place plate into freezer to set (at least 1-2 hours, or overnight if you’ve planned ahead).
Using a double boiler, melt the orange candy melts together with the coconut oil.
Once melted, dip the truffle into the chocolate and place onto wax or parchment paper. Repeat with all chocolate balls.
Allow coating to dry for 30 minutes.
Cut tootsie rolls into small pieces, one for each truffle you made. Roll those small bits of tootsie roll into a rod shape and stick into the top of each truffle, in the middle. This will be the stem.
Using a piping bag and a leaf tip to create leaves out of green frosting. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
Enjoy as a treat, or drop a truffle in your coffee or a glass of hot cocoa to add a burst of fall flavor to your favorite drink!
