INGREDIENTS
  • Granulated sugar: 2 cups, for the sweet fudge base.
  • Light brown sugar: 1 cup (packed), to add depth and a hint of caramel flavor.
  • Unsalted butter: ¾ cup, for a rich, creamy texture.
  • Evaporated milk: ⅔ cup, to create the smooth fudge consistency.
  • Canned pumpkin puree: ½ cup, for the signature pumpkin flavor.
  • Ground cinnamon: 1 tsp, for warm spice.
  • Nutmeg: ½ tsp, to enhance the autumnal flavor profile.
  • White chocolate chips: 12 oz, to create a creamy and sweet fudge base.
  • Marshmallow creme: 7 oz, for added smoothness and sweetness.
  • Vanilla extract: 1 tsp, to round out the flavors.
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1:
Line an 8x8-inch pan with foil and lightly grease with butter to ensure easy removal of the fudge.
Step 2:
In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, light brown sugar, unsalted butter, evaporated milk, and pumpkin puree. Heat over medium, stirring constantly until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 3:
Bring the mixture to a boil. Continue stirring for about 10 minutes, or until the mixture reaches 234°F on a candy thermometer.
Step 4:
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in white chocolate chips, marshmallow creme, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
Step 5:
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Allow the fudge to cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator until set.
Step 6:
Once cooled, lift the fudge out of the pan using the foil lining. Slice into bite-sized squares and serve.
Serving and Storage Tips
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
  • Serve at room temperature for the best texture and flavor.
Helpful Notes
  • Use a candy thermometer to ensure the mixture reaches the correct temperature for setting the fudge.
  • For a nuttier twist, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on top before the fudge sets.

Tips from Well-Known Chefs

  • Let the fudge cool at room temperature before refrigerating to avoid condensation on the surface.
  • For a more intense spice flavor, add a pinch of ground ginger or cloves.
