First of all, let me apologize for not posting any recipes for like, 5 months. I've just been so busy and now that its winter break, I'd like to make it up to you with yet another pumpkin recipe! These chocolate pumpkin balls are so soft and cakey. They could almost replace Timbits! In case you're not familiar with that term, Timbits are similar to donut holes and are a popular choice at Tim Hortons here in Canada. Of course, Timbits are loaded with sugar and grains so I haven't had one of those in a looonng time. As you can see, I drizzled some melted chocolate chips on these little guys. It was mainly to make them look pretty, but who doesn't like chocolate on chocolate? However, these are delectable with or without the drizzle. This recipe makes a big batch so feel free to halve it. Also, these taste BLESSED after being in the fridge (they're also less crumbly when cold). |
