Ingredients

Scale

Pumpkin Spice Filling:

½ cup pumpkin puree

⅓ cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)

2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)

2 teaspoons pumpkin spice

Chocolate Layer:

1 cup chocolate chips

1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

1. Microwave almond butter for about 30 seconds to soften.

2. In a bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, honey, almond butter, and pumpkin spice until smooth. Set aside.

3. Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments until smooth.

4. Pour a thin layer of melted chocolate into silicone candy molds or mini cupcake liners. Freeze for 10 minutes to set.

5. Pipe or spoon the pumpkin spice filling on top of the chocolate layer. Freeze for 5-10 minutes.

6. Top with another layer of melted chocolate to cover filling. Freeze 1-2 hours, until firm.

7. Remove from molds and enjoy straight from the freezer.

Notes

Use silicone candy molds for festive shapes, or mini muffin liners for a Reese’s-style candy.

Do not leave candies at room temperature; they will soften. Store in an airtight container in the freezer.

For thinner candies, do not fill the molds completely.

Make a piping bag by filling a plastic baggie with the pumpkin mixture and snipping off a corner.

Store leftovers in the freezer for best texture.
