This is my first time trying to make pumpkin fudge. Saw it at the beach and had to try a sample. We will see how this works. Basically took my chocolate fudge recipe, and tweeked it. Also, if you do not have pumpkin pie spice, use equal parts, ground clove, nutmeg, ginger and cinnamon (1/2 tsp each)
