These were purely just something I created on the spur of the moment....I didn't want to be wasteful and throw out the powdered sugar, caned pumpkin or graham crackers from the Pumpkin Pie cookies soooo....I gave it some thought and came up with these, which were a hit, if I must say so!

1 cup of powdered sugar & 1/2cup in a separate bowl
2-3tlbs of caned pumpkin
1/2cup low fat peanut butter (or what ever you have on hand)
1 sleeve of graham crackers, crushed
In a large bowl put in your 1cup of powdered sugar and crushed graham crackers. Then add peanut butter and 2tlbs of pumpkin. Stir together and it should form a ball, if too dry then add another table spoon of pumpkin or if too moist add a little more sugar....

| Pinch off small balls....I did mine less then half an inch and throw them into the other bowl with just powdered sugar in it and coat... |

| I was able to get 85 out of this batch...it just depends on how big you make the balls....Store in an air tight container. These lasted all of 10 seconds! |
Something I plan to do with these for Christmas is to not coat them with powdered sugar afterwards but with either white or chocolate candy coating and then dip into different kinds of sprinkles....These will make wonderful gifts to give out to the neighbors....That is if the kids don't eat them all first!

I have everything to make these except the graham crackers. BUT I have graham cracker crumbs. So I'm wondering...would it work if I used graham cracker crumbs, instead? Or would they be too fine to hold the truffles together? I would have to try to guess the amount of graham cracker crumbs to use - like a cup? Or 1 1/2 cups??
They do look really delicious & clearly the kids approve of this method of getting their pumpkin serving for the day. :)
The crackers give it a crunch... Use a cup of what to have & do every thing else the same. See what your consistency is and just play with it. If too dry add more pumpkin or peanut butter. If too moist add a little more sugar or crums until you get a good enough dough to form balls with out it being too sticky... Hope that helps :)
Okay, thanks. I'll give that a try. I'll let you know how they turn out.
