Notes

Tips + Substitutions
  • Make your own pumpkin cake or bread - if you don't have any or don't want to buy it at the store.  You can use boxed spice cake mix and add in a can of pumpkin puree.  Or bake a loaf of pumpkin bread.
  • Use sticks - get lollipop or treat sticks, pop them into the bottom of each ball.
  • Decorate like pumpkins - replace the white chocolate chips with orange candy melts to make them look like little pumpkins.
