Method

Preparation

In a skillet over medium heat, combine the butter, cream cheese, pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir constantly until well combined and thickened.
Stir in the graham cracker crumbs and white chocolate chips until melted and mixture is smooth. Add food coloring if desired.
Continue stirring until the mixture releases from the sides of the pan. Cook a bit longer if needed to ensure thickness.
Pour the mixture onto a greased baking sheet and spread evenly. Let it chill in the fridge until firm.
Once chilled, grease your hands with butter and roll the mixture into small balls.
Roll each truffle in granulated sugar to coat.
Using a toothpick, make ridges on the sides and top with chocolate chips to resemble little pumpkin stems.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
