It happens every time.
Well, so far only twice — because this one happened with only my second book. (See New Cocoa Candy for the first one.)
When I modify and test Amish recipes for a recipe book, I tend to stumble on wonderful candy that doesn't quite fit the book. So I publish it here, at the Amish recipes section of this website.
Not all stumbles are published on this website. Most aren't. This is the second that turned out too good not to share.
The working title for the new recipe book is Amish Recipes: Chocolate-Covered Truffle Candy. (All of the books are listed on this website's home page.) It was while testing the pumpkin pie spice truffle recipe that this recipe fell into my lap.
It is a virtual certainty that you will love this candy.
At least, give yourself the opportunity to find out. For a quick test, get some white chocolate chips or white baking chips (sometimes called "morsels" instead of "chips").
Melt half a cup of the chips. Stir in a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice.
If you can keep from eating all of the melty concoction, spoon what's left as drops onto wax paper.
Let it dry until it is firm enough to handle. (No longer sticky.)
Ambrosia.
By the way, the recipe makes a small amount (only half a cup, total). To double the recipe, use 1 cup white chocolate and 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice.

Here is the Pumpkin Pie Spice White Chocolate recipe to help you become a yummy expert.
Pumpkin Pie Spice White Chocolate
(Easy. Great recipe to practice with.)
1/2 cup white chocolate or white baking chips
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Prepare a plate by laying a sheet of wax paper on it (or lightly grease the plate with butter if you don't have wax paper). This will hold the finished candy.
Melt the chocolate. This can be done in a warm oven in 3-minute increments or in the microwave in 10-second increments, with a quick stir between increments.
Don't over melt. Just enough so all solids are dissolved.
Stir the pumpkin pie spice into the melted white chocolate until well blended.
With a spoon, drop the melty mixture onto the prepared plate. The number of drops will depend on how much melty concoction your spoon carries.
Let the drops dry until they are firm enough to handle. (No longer sticky.)
Yields enough for 2 people to have a nice treat.
