-1/4 cup powdered sugar

Directions:
-In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with mixer until creamy
-Slowly add graham crumbs, sugar, and 3/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
-Mix well
-Scoop cream cheese mixture into 22 (1-inch) balls, using 1 tbsp cream cheese mixture for each ball
-Place on a waxed paper-covered baking sheet
-Freeze 10 minutes
-Melt chocolate as directed on package
-Dip cream cheese balls, one at a time into melted chocolate, turning until evenly coated with chocolate
-Return to baking sheet; sprinkle with remaining pumpkin pie spice, if desired

If necessary, re-roll each partially frozen cream cheese ball into a round ball before dipping in the melted chocolate. Since the cream cheese balls will soften quickly at room temperature, remove them from the freezer in small batches before dipping in chocolate as directed.
