Preheat your oven as instructed on the yellow cake mix box.
In a mixing bowl, combine yellow cake mix, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and softened butter. Mix until smooth using an electric mixer.
Pour batter into a greased baking sheet and bake according to package directions, usually about 30 minutes.
Allow the cake to cool completely before crumbling it into fine pieces in a large bowl.
In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese and vanilla until smooth; gradually add powdered sugar.
Fold cream cheese mixture into the crumbled cake until fully combined and form into one-inch balls.
Chill the formed balls for about 30 minutes.
