Default Dme addition to bump ABV

I'm brewing some hef this weekend, and I want to bump up the abv a bit.

3.3 LME
3.3 LME 15 min
Haller for 60 min
3068 Smack

4.68 ABV estimate

Can I add about a pound of DME to bump this up, without making any drastic flavor or color changes to the beer? If so, would it be best to do the DME as full boil and add all the LME at 15? This will be a partial boil btw.

I have done this in the past and brew a few beers with late additions of DME. I would suggest adding the remainder of the DME at about 15 minutes left in the boil. DME should not have a huge influence on the color or flavor at this time. I would follow what you have and add the DME with the LME at 15 min.
