These truffles were a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they had been made with semisweet chocolate instead of dark chocolate.

I'm not a huge fan of dark chocolate, but I really enjoyed these truffles. The pumpkin flavor really mellowed out the dark chocolate and made them very enjoyable.

These truffles were a bit too firm for my taste. I think I might have over-chilled them. Next time, I'll try chilling them for a shorter amount of time.

I had some trouble finding pumpkin puree, but once I did, these truffles were a breeze to make. They turned out beautifully and tasted even better.

These truffles were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. They were still very good and I would definitely make them again.
