I saw pumpkin flavored white chocolate at the local "make it yourself" candy shop. There used one of those flavored candy oil that come in the tiny bottles. Other than that you could dehydrate pumpkin and then grind it in an electric grinder, add some pumpkin pie spice. I think if you added it to chocolate you would probably have to thin it with a dab of Crisco though.
Just use a Pumpkin Chocolate Ganache to coat the apples in the first place. Make your ganache as usual, but minus about 1/4 the cream or condensed milk (depending on which you prefer to use) - then use an 8 to 12oz can of pumpkin puree` as a substitute for the left out liquid, and add a bit of the pie spice. I tried that with Truffles a couple of years ago, then rolled the ganache centers in a mixture of crushed macadamia nuts and dark chocolate shavings. Turned out surprisingly well.
I generally don't do Food gifts any more unless it's something like homemade Truffles or Cookies of various sorts. For dry mixes in a jar, though - a homemade BBQ rub works well. (Ok, it does for the people I know, because so many of them are BBQ fiends LoL.)
8 parts brown sugar
2 parts salt
1 part black pepper
1 part "mix" (which consists of equal parts Cumin, ground Chili, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, crushed red pepper, and ground mustard, with just a pinch of savory)
