Prepare a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

In a small microwave safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and microwave on 50% power (or defrost mode) for 1 minute. Stir and microwave for another 30 seconds. When done, stir until silky smooth and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl cream together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and fully combined.

Add in the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla. Mix until fully combined. Add melted chocolate and graham crackers and mix again until smooth.

Place the bowl in the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour.

When chill time is complete, use a 1 inch cookie scoop, scoop the mixture and roll into 1 - 1-½ inch balls. Use the palms of your hands to smooth and round each ball. Do this until the mixture is completely used. See notes for additional tips.

Place each ball on the sheet of parchment paper and place inside the refrigerator for an additional hour. If the bites are still soft at the end, place inside the freezer for 20-30 minutes.

About 5-10 minutes before the chilling time is complete, begin to prepare the white candy melts by first adding them to a large bowl.

Next, place that bowl over a stovetop pot containing 3-4 inches of water. Bring water to a boil, creating a double boiler.

Stir the wafers frequently using a rubber spatula as the chocolate melts. Add 1 tablespoon of the crisco and continue to stir until the chocolate is smooth, silky and fully melted. When done, remove from heat.

Using two forks or dipping tools, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, covering it completely. Roll the ball, working it into the chocolate to cover it completely.

Place each bite on parchment paper and repeat the process for all.

Place inside the refrigerator and allow to cool for an additional 30 minutes.

When the bites have almost finished chilling, repeat the double boiler process for the orange candy melts.

Using a piping bag or small plastic Ziploc bag, pipe orange lines over half of the bites by moving in a back and forth motion. Repeat this process for all cheesecake bites one at a time before placing in the refrigerator to chill for an additional 30 minutes before serving.
