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)

How To Make pumpkin fudge

  • Step 1
    Line 13 x 9-inch baking pan with foil.
  • Step 2
    Mix sugar, brown sugar, evaporated milk, pumpkin, butter and spice in medium, heavy-duty saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
