Ingredients

			Cheesecake Mixture
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
 - ⅓ cup powdered sugar
 - ⅔ cup pumpkin puree
 - 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
 
Crust
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
 - 1 ½ cups gingersnap crumbs
 
Coating
- 12 oz white almond bark (for coating)
 - Optional: 1 cup orange candy melts (for drizzle)
 
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture: Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Then, mix in the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice thoroughly to combine all flavors well.
 - Add the Crumbs: Stir in the graham cracker crumbs and gingersnap crumbs into the cheesecake mixture until everything is evenly incorporated. Chill this mixture in the refrigerator for about 2 hours to firm up.
 - Form Balls: Scoop out the chilled cheesecake mixture and roll it into 1-inch diameter balls. Place these balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then chill again for 30 minutes to set completely.
 - Coat with Almond Bark: Melt the white almond bark in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval to ensure smoothness. Dip each chilled cheesecake ball into the melted almond bark coating, allowing excess to drip off, then place them back on the parchment paper to set. Optionally, drizzle with melted orange candy melts for a decorative finish.
 
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the mixture.
 - Refrigeration time is important to ensure the balls firm well for easier coating.
 - The pumpkin pie spice can be adjusted to taste depending on your preference for spice intensity.
 - Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
 - Optional orange candy melts add a festive touch but can be omitted or substituted with any colored melt or drizzle.
