Pumpkin Fudge

I cannot begin to tell you how good this fudge is. The first time I ever tried pumpkin fudge was last fall at Cabela's, and I fell in love!! I knew that I was going to have to find a recipe so that I could make my own!! This recipe is so close to that!! I followed the directions to a T and the texture is soooo creamy and smooth!! I think next time I will increase the pumpkin pie spice by 1/2 teaspoon. It was very good as directed but I love my pumpkin spicy!! Thank you so much. Addendum: Just wanted to leave a little note... I loved this fudge so much I decided to give it out as favors at my October wedding. I made 6 batches and cut it into 2 inch squares and placed each square in a decorative box. The only things I did differently were to add 1/2 tsp of additional pumpkin pie spiceto each batch and I did not add the chopped pecans into the fudge mixture. I wanted to be able to cut the fudge smoothly, so I bought some candied pecans and put one on top of each piece. Our guests loved it! I can't tell you how many people asked for the recipe! Thanks for helping to make our wedding extra special by posting this awesome recipe!

It took forever to get to softball stage! Then when I added the white chocolate, it cooked it, causing the whole mixture to turn into a grainy, crumbly mess. I would recommend adding a time to cool the mixture before adding the white chocolate. The flavor was excellent, but I couldn't serve it to anyone due to the texture.

Tonight was my first time making fudge and it was a lot easier than I thought! I took on board what several people said about not being shy with the spices and I upped the pumpkin pie spice (UK "mixed spice") to 3 tsps, plus added another 1 tsp of cinnamon. I wd definitely recommend this -- this quantity of fat and sugar can definitely take it, plus it makes for a richer color. Also, for the record, I added 1/8 tsp. salt AND substituted plain marshmallows for the m. creme and it worked out just fine. Thanks for the great recipe (it's posted so many times on food.com, I figured it must be great!). (Addendum: that tiny quantity of pumpkin gets lost in all the other ingredients -- the next time I make this I'm going to use a whole can and see what happens!)

The fudge itself tasted very good but it never set even after leaving in the freezer for 24 hours. I think the amount of marshmallow creme should be reduced next time. Also I tripled the pumpkin pie spice as others recommended. I would also half the recipe next time since a 9x13 pan is a ton of fudge.

Very good, albeit very very sweet. The nuts and spices help with that somewhat. This recipe is not hard - my 10 year old daughter made it today with minimal help from me! My white chips didn't melt all the way either, but it didn't matter once it was all put together. For more robust flavor, try toasting the nuts (I used pecans). And we just sprinkled them on top to make it pretty! Thank you!

I loved the spice flavor and the pumpkin taste. My white chocolate bits didn't melt evenly, but the family didn't seem to mind. I placed pecan halves on each square and it looked nice. This was a very sweet fudge...I might add a dash of salt or use salted butter next time.

Sorry, I thought I had rated this 5 stars and more if possible! But, didn't for some reson.Love this and I'm not big on pumpkin. We tried Pumpkin Fudge at a touristy town in Georgia and DH said, "you have to make some of this", he love anything pumpkin. So glad I tried this recipe and not another one. I always make alots of candy at Christmas and this one is a keeper from now on, just wish my dad was still with us to try it. He loved his candy :)

This was really good and easy! I did not have the white chocolate chips, so I used a bag of butterscotch instead...it still came out great! Don't be afraid of the spices...that's what gives this fudge it's great taste!! A really good recipe!!

I recently came back from a trip to Santa Cruz, CA where I visited Marini's candy and had their pumpkin fudge. I had never heard of it, but I was in heaven! So, I had to search for it here :) This batch was very easy and the results were beautiful! I used 2 tsp. of pumpkin pie spice and cooked mine until 230 degrees on my candy thermometer (I live at 3500 ft). Thanks for posting - while this isn't Marini's, it's a CLOSE second and I am thrilled with it!

This fudge is excellent; pretty color, smooth texture, and a wonderful creamy pumpkin flavor. I took others advice and increased the Pumpkin Pie Spice to 2 tspns, and it was perfect. NOTE: Step #4 is important. Be sure to remove your pan from the heat BEFORE adding white chocolate chips. Then stir gently until melted, before adding remaining ingredients.

This fudge is wonderful! The fudge did start to to clump up when I added the white chocolate chips, but I put the pan on a low heat and stirred like crazy-this smoothed it back out. I added the chopped pecans and this added flavor and great texture to the fudge. I love this!

My daughter and I made this today and it came out wonderful. I have never had good luck making fudge in the past, but today for the first time in history it turned out! And it was better than good. I only wish I had added more than the recommended amount of pumpkin pie spice. It could stand the extra kick.

I'm no good at making fudge, but this turned out wonderful. My husband, who is painfully honest about new recipes I try, loved it. I will definitely make this again and again and again....

Mine also went grainy, I think I may have added the chocolate chips too quickly. I grabbed my hand mixer and added the the marshmallow cream and vanilla and that smoothed it back out. While what we have may not be the texture of fudge it has a fantastic flavor and my family is greatly enjoying it! I can't wait to try it again.

I would give 10 stars if I could. I followed the instructions exactly and it turned out perfect. It was very easy to make, was very creamy and also made lots! The best part of this recipe is its unique flavor. I gave half of the fudge away as a gift and they absolutely loved it! The other half, I ate myself because it is very addicting! Wonderful recipe!
