Fall is the perfect time to enjoy treats that are both tasty and good for you. These Pumpkin Fudge Bites have a creamy, fudge-like texture and a warm pumpkin flavor with a hint of cinnamon. Made with simple ingredients like pumpkin puree, coconut butter, and maple syrup, they’re naturally sweetened and full of fall flavor. They make a great snack for the week or a healthier dessert to share with family and friends.

Pumpkin Fudge Bites

Ingredients:
• 1/4 cup of pumpkin puree
• 6 tablespoons of (melted) coconut butter
• 2 tablespoons of 100% pure maple syrup
• 1/4 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
• 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon
• Pinch of salt

Directions:

In a small bowl, stir together first 6 ingredients until completely smooth.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm enough to roll into balls with your hands or a mini cookie scoop.
Mix together equal parts virgin coconut oil, cocoa powder, and pure maple syrup to form a thin sauce.
Using a spoon, dip fudge bites into coating and place onto plate lined with wax paper; immediately set in the freezer to harden. Leftover bites should be stored in the fridge (up to 5 days) or in the freezer.
