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.
