PF Kitchen: No Bake Chocolate Pumpkin Bites
Ingredients
2 cups dates, softened in hot water for 20 minutes
1 cup can pureed pumpkin
2 cup whole rolled oats, divided
1.5 TBS pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp sea salt (optional)
1 bag of dairy free dark chocolate chips
Directions
Pit the dates and place in a food processor
Pulse a few times until they begin to break down
Add the pumpkin puree, half of the oats, pumpkin pie spice and salt if using
Continue to pulse until well mixed and slowly add the remaining oats.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover and refrigerate for an hour to overnight.
When you are ready to top with chocolate:
Pour chocolate chips into a heat resistant bowl and place snugly on top of a saucepan with a few inches of water in it
Bring heat to low and stir chips often until melted
While you are melting the chocolate, pick off the dough little by little, roll in your hands to create a dense ball. Place on a parchment paper lined tray
Next, you can either place a dollop of chocolate squarely on top or you can coat the whole thing.
After you are finished, place the treats back in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set up. Serve well chilled.
