Ingredients
Scale

- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter (plus more for rolling)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 20 mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin puree, and butter. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
- Continue cooking for about 15 minutes until thickened. Check readiness by running a spatula through; it should take about 5 seconds to come back together.

- Once chilled, butter your hands and roll the mixture into small balls. Create dents for a pumpkin shape and place a mini chocolate chip on top as the stem.
