Pumpkin Spice Brazilian Brigadeiro Truffles – Party Ideas

‘Tis the season of pumpkins so I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make one of my favorite desserts –  pumpkin spice Brazilian Brigadeiro, aka pumpkin spice truffles!

These little sweet bites not only look quite adorable, but they’re also SO incredibly tasty, made with condensed milk and all the comforting flavors of Fall! YUM!

If you like pumpkin pie or pumpkin spice anything, then you’ll love these! In fact, these make a great alternative to your more traditional Fall or Halloween pumpkin desserts. Plus, they’ll look just as yummy on a Thanksgiving desserts platter too, so be sure to pin it for later! 😉

These pumpkin spice truffles are also super easy to make and only require a handful of inexpensive ingredients!

You can make these Pumpkin Spice Brazilian Brigadeiro Truffles about 3-4 days in advance of serving them, and they keep well in the fridge for up to 1 week.

I love the flavors of Fall and these little sweet treats are perfect to serve anytime from now until Thanksgiving!

I tend to eat these with my afternoon coffee, but you can also add them to tops of cakes or a desserts board too. Or box up a few of these and turn them into a delightful Fall gift for neighbors, teachers and friends!

These pumpkin spice truffles can be served on a bed of sugar or sugar sprinkles for décor, or you can also present them in individual baking cups like I did.
