Got to this recipe almost as soon as I'd tagged it, & even had a bit of it eaten before it was fully set! Absolutely delicious fudge, for sure, but then, that comes from a chocoholic who loves pumpkin pie! Will certainly be making this again & again, likely a number of times before the end-of-the-year holidays! Many thanks for sharing the recipe!
