BUTTERSCOTCH PUMPKIN CAKE TRUFFLES
Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a round cake pan or loaf pan; set aside. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and Pumpkin Spice; set aside. In a large bowl, mix both white and brown sugars, butter, and eggs until smooth. Add the dry ingredients, and mix again until smooth. Fold in the pumpkin puree until thoroughly combined. Pour the batter into the greased pan Bake until tops spring back to the touch, and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Let cool completely. Once cooled, crumble the cake into a bowl and add the cream cheese frosting. Mix with a spoon or hands until thoroughly combined; Add spoonfuls of frosting one at a time if the cake is still dry Roll the cake out into 2″ balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or wax paper Place the cake balls in the freezer for 30 minutes to an hour At this point you can place the cake balls in a freezer bag and store in the freezer for up to three months to continue later if preferred. In a small bowl, heat the white chocolate in 20 second increments in the microwave, stirring in between each time Using a toothpick, skewer or spoon (I use a spoon), dip the chilled cake balls into the white chocolate. Coat the cake balls and return to the cookie sheet. Chill for 30 minutes while you prepare the Butterscotch. In a microwave safe bowl, add the Butterscotch chips and the Crisco / butter. Heat in 20 second increments, stirring in between. Once thoroughly melted, allow to cool for about 10 minutes. Spoon the melted Butterscotch into a small sandwich bag. Snip off a very TINY corner of the bag and drizzle over the truffles. Chill for a few minutes until the butterscotch is set.

Steps:
- 1. Beat everything together (ending with the eggs) according to the package instructions and bake in a 13 X 9" pan. Make sure the cake is completely baked (no gooey middle) before removing from the oven. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- 2. Crumble the cake apart in a bowl and add most of the can of cream cheese. Using your fingers, mix together until the cake holds together when formed into a ball. Add more frosting of necessary. Roll into balls of about a 2 bite size. Or you can use a cookie scoop for a more uniform size. Then roll them to make them more rounded. This should make about 65. Place on cookie sheets lined with wax paper and refrigerate several hours or overnight.
- 3. When ready to dip, melt the candy melts (I used two bags of melts total) a 1/2 bag at a time following the directions on the package. If you are using the white almond bark, when it is all melted you can mix in the food coloring to make it orange. Stick the pretzel in the middle of the dough and then roll it in the chocolate from side to side till it is covered. Place on another sheet of wax paper. Refrigerate till ready to eat.
- 4. * TIP: If the chocolate seems too thick you can add about 1/2 TBL of oil to thin it out, mix it in well.

Tips:
- Choose the right chocolate: Use high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% for a rich and decadent flavor.
- Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree will give your truffles a more vibrant flavor and color. To make your own puree, simply roast a pumpkin until tender, then scoop out the flesh and blend it until smooth.
- Chill the truffles before coating them: This will help them set and hold their shape. You can chill the truffles for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Be careful not to overwork the truffle mixture: Overworking the mixture can make the truffles tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Use a variety of toppings: You can coat the truffles in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, sprinkles, or even crushed candy canes. Get creative and have fun!
