Get your pumpkin spice fix with these quick and easy no-bake Pumpkin Cookie Truffle Pops!
I love an easy recipe, and these Pumpkin Cookie Truffle Pops are fun, no-bake autumn treat! Made with Oreos and pumpkin pie spice, these truffles are just the thing to make whether you are having Halloween and Thanksgiving parties, or just want something sweet. This recipe is so easy that even the kids can help!
As the title states, this easy recipe only needs 3 ingredients! The first, and most important, ingredient are the cookies! You can use either Golden Oreos or the seasonal Pumpkin Spice Oreos for this recipe. You will also need some cream cheese, pumpkin spice, and orange and green candy melts. Don't forget to grab some lollipop sticks.
Crush the cookies, cream and all, into a fine crumb. You can do this by putting them into a sealed plastic bag and crushing them with your hands or a rolling pin, or you can put the cookies into a food processor and pulse them to crumbs.
Once crushed, keep the cookies in the food processor or add the crumbs to a large mixing bowl. Add in the softened cream cheese and pumpkin spice, and then mix together until you get a thick, paste-like consistency.
Now it's time to form the truffles! Roll the Oreo mixture into 1" balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Shape the balls into pumpkin using a lollipop stick, and then place a stick into the top of each truffle.
The truffles will be soft, so I recommend placing them into the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or in the freezer for about 15 minutes, to allow them to firm up.
Melt the orange candy melts in the microwave in 30 second intervals, or a melt in a double boiler until smooth. Dip a pumpkin truffle into the orange chocolate until completely coated. Gently tap to remove the excess. Place the truffle back onto the baking sheet.
Once the orange coating has set, melt some green candy melts. Pour it into a ziploc bag, and cut the corner off to pipe some leaves and vines at the top of the truffles.
Let the Pumpkin Cookie Truffle Pops coating set completely before serving. To make the process quicker, just pop them into the refrigerator.
