These pumpkin pecan truffles have smooth creamy pumpkin centers with pecan pieces hidden inside. The white chocolate coating is drizzled overtop and more pecan pieces sprinkled for the finale. Perfect fancy-looking no-bake party treats that can be quickly made!
It wasn't until I was well considered an adult before I had my first truffle. It makes me sad to think I went all those years missing out one one of life's best treats. Since my first experience truffle-tasting, you could say that I have been obsessed. And now, I make them from fall until well past New Years. This time of year, there is always a reason to make a truffle. Halloween, leaves changing colors, Thanksgiving, I just want a truffle, Christmas.......
When I first became a truffle-eater, I thought that they looked fancy so they must be hard to make....better not try {better to just keep stuffing my face with them and let someone else in a fancy faraway bakery make them}. Then about 7 or 8 years ago, I tried making my first oreo truffle and it turned out amazing {I am pretty sure I ate all of them that same afternoon} and were so easy to make! Now I can throw them together with my eyes closed {no I can't. Tried that, and that makes a big ol' mess! Don't close your eyes. Don't}.
These little pumpkin pecan truffles are no-bake, so extra points already, and I put these little buggers together in one afternoon between working and getting the house ready for hosting 12 people on a busy weeknight. Phew! These were so easy to make and definitely the crowd pleaser {I did keep an extra little stash hidden away so that I could indulge in a couple of truffles myself after the party. Glad I planned ahead!}.
Fall is the perfect time excuse to make pumpkin truffles. But not any pumpkin truffles but throw in some pecans for a bit of crunch to break up all that creaminess. Creamy and crunchy, the best of both worlds!

*I used these gluten-free gingersnaps and these gluten-free graham crackers (affiliate links) and the pumpkin pecan truffles turned out delicious! I highly recommend these products for this recipe if you need your truffles to be gluten-free!
