Cover a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Add melted white chocolate chips, pumpkin puree, crushed graham crackers, cream cheese, and powdered sugar to food processor. Pulse until a dough forms. Chill dough for 3 hours, or until it is easy to roll into balls (dough will still be sticky).
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place onto prepared cookie sheet. Chill balls in freezer for 15 minutes.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt dark chocolate for 1 minute and stir. If not completely melted, microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
Dip balls into melted dark chocolate using toothpicks or a fork. Return to cookie sheet and sprinkle tops with crushed graham crackers for garnish if desired.
Let truffles harden at room temperature for 1 hour or in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
