- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ¾–1 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Sweeteners and Flavoring:

Instructions
- Whisk nut butter, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and vanilla in a spacious mixing vessel until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Incorporate coconut flour, pumpkin pie spice, and salt into the liquid mixture, stirring thoroughly to create a cohesive dough.
- Gently integrate mini chocolate chips throughout the mixture, distributing them evenly.
- Chill the prepared mixture in the refrigerator for approximately 10 minutes to enhance its structural integrity.
- While the mixture firms, prepare the chocolate coating by melting chocolate with coconut oil using short microwave intervals, stirring between each heating cycle to ensure smooth liquefaction.
- Extract the chilled mixture and carefully shape into petite, uniform spherical portions using gentle rolling motions.
- Utilize a fork to delicately submerge each spherical bite into the molten chocolate, guaranteeing complete coverage and precise coating.
- Transfer the chocolate-enrobed bites onto a parchment-lined tray, allowing adequate spacing between each morsel.

- Store the completed bites in a cold environment until ready for consumption, maintaining their optimal texture and flavor profile.
