Ingredients
- 1 (9-inch) baked and chilled pumpkin pie
- 1 (16-ounce) package vanilla candy coating or almond bark
Instructions
- Reserve some of the crust from the pumpkin pie for topping. Crumble the remaining pie filling and crust into an electric mixer bowl. Blend until it forms a moist ball.
- Roll this mixture into 2-tablespoon sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes or refrigerate for 2 hours until firm.
- Melt the candy coating according to package directions in a shallow bowl. Dip each pie ball using a fork until fully coated, letting excess drip off.
- Return coated balls to the baking sheet and immediately sprinkle with reserved crust crumbles before the coating sets.
