Pumpkin Caramel Chocolates
This is Halloween, this is Halloween. Halloween, Halloween!
(see our Pepper Jacks Recipe Collection for Halloween dinner ideas!)
I love truffles and chocolates, and make them year round.
The skulls, however! These are seen less often, and although they do come out for non Halloween celebrations, this is absolutely the time of year for skulls.
Years ago, I shared with you all a Ginger Wasabi Chocolate Skull… still a favorite flavor combination.
This year, the filling is a nod to the season – my favorite Pumpkin Coconut Caramel Sauce!
Halloween Recipe
If you are a year round pumpkin eater like me? These can be any old every day chocolate, with or without the skull mold!
You could use heart shapes, like these Lavender Cream Truffles.
or mustache on a stick, like these Chipotle Ganache Truffles!
I would welcome Pumpkin Caramel Chocolates any time of year, though.
How To Make Truffles
Whenever I gift a box of truffles or bring a tray of chocolates to a party, there is all kinds of amazement. Yes, a filled chocolate is an impressive handmade gift or party dessert, but they are not difficult.
Really.
Honestly.
They do take a bit of patience. But really, only a bit. I know, because that is all I have. Patience is not my virtue!
They are not difficult, and they are really so much fun – the filling flavors are endless – as endless as the shape of mold.
…and chocolate.
Everyone loves chocolate.

Pumpkin Caramel Chocolates
perfect for fall, a warmly spiced pumpkin caramel fills all sorts of chocolate molds - Halloween ready!
Ingredients
- 8 ounces semi sweet / dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup Pumpkin Coconut Caramel Sauce
Instructions
- Make Pumpkin Coconut Caramel Sauce. (This takes several hours - I make mine the day before.)
- In small saucepan over low heat, melt chopped chocolate until smooth. Remove from heat.
- Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into each mold. Using a small paintbrush or spoon, completely coat the inner walls of the mold with chocolate. Place in refrigerator for 5 minutes or until chocolate has set.
- Fill each mold with Pumpkin Caramel filling*, leaving room at the top to seal with more chocolate. *If making the Pumpkin Caramel the same day as the chocolates, make sure the Pumpkin Caramel is cooled before adding to / filling the chocolate molds.
- Reheat remaining chocolate and fill each mold, covering the filling completely.
- Carefully tap molds on counter to remove any bubbles, return to refrigerator to set.
- Store in refrigerator. Enjoy within 10 days.

These are scary sweet in a good way, like I would eat them ALL! The mold is so cute too. I don’t have a skull but I think I have a small pumpkin one that I could use to whip some up in time for Halloween!
Alisa says
