Chocolate-Pumpkin Truffles

2 1/2 c Vanilla Wafers; crushed
1 c Almonds; lightly toasted and ground
3/4 c Sifted Confectioners' Sugar; (divided)
2 ts Ground Cinnamon
6 oz Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1/2 c Pumpkin Puree
1/3 c Coffee Liqueur

Makes about 4 Dozen Truffles

In a medium bowl, combine vanilla wafer crumbs, ground almonds, one-half cup confectioner's sugar, and cinnamon.

Blend in chocolate chips, pumpkin puree, and coffee liqueur. (The one-third cup of coffee liqueur may be replaced with a fifty-percent mixture of cold coffee and sugar syrup as a non-alcoholic alternative. )

Form the mixture into one-inch balls. Cover and refrigerate to firm. Just prior to serving, dust the truffles with the remaining one-quarter cup of confectioner's sugar.
