pumpkin spice fudge recipe

Here’s a great fudge recipe for the holiday season!

This fudge tastes like caramel with a hint of pumpkin spice flavor – the texture comes out very smooth and creamy (not grainy at all) and the nuts add a great crunch.

Hip tips for making Pumpkin Spice Fudge:

  • Buy a candy thermometer! They’re a handy, inexpensive tool to have around the kitchen, and using one is so much easier than trying to guess when your candy has reached the soft-ball stage.
  • I used a non-stick cookie sheet with a lip and buttered it so there was no sticking.
  • I added the nuts to the top after pouring the mixture into the pan because I thought it looked prettier, but you could mix them in the pot at the end—it’s up to you!

Pumpkin Fudge

My kids don’t like nuts so I left them out of half the batch. I thought it would be cute to cut out pumpkin shapes with a small cookie cutter. They loved it!

And since I didn’t need a whole pan of fudge sitting in my kitchen, we shared with neighbors and my kid’s teachers. Great little gift idea!

    K Ladies .its the 1 who is not that gr8@ these new recipes..i hav a question… which butter kind do u use?… w salt?…w/o salt???Tia..cuz these look sooooooo yummy..

    • Heidi

      I always use non-salted butter unless a recipe specifically calls for salted butter. However, you can really use which ever one! My mom only cooks with salted butter, regardless of what she is cooking and you really can’t taste the difference.

      • Heidi

        non-salted…haha…I meant unsalted! 🙂

    • Debbie

      Absolutely use unsalted butter. If you feel like a Recipe is needing salt it’s easy to put in a pinch of it. Can’t take salt out 😊

    I once substituted the evaporated milk in pumpkin pie with coconut milk. I wonder if it would work in this recipe as well ?!?

  7. Karen

    Going to try this, I make Scottish tablet all the time which is really hard to make and im am Scottish lol, this looks just as good and seems a lot easier to make. Thanks Colin

  9. Sandy

    It would be really cute to draw jack-o-lantern faces on the cut outs with homemade frosting! Either chocolate or vanilla-yummy!
