This was a real nice recipe, but I thought the 3 cups of sugar was a little too much for the recipe. Don't get me wrong, I have a real sweet tooth, but it was a little hard to get past the sweetness of this recipe.

Sorry, this didn't work for me at all. I cooked it for 40 min.s,and it still didn't set. I'm giving it 3 for flavor, but my batch has to be eaten with a spoon.

This is the first time I've made fudge since Girlscouts! It turned out with a really creamy consistency and reminded me of pumpkin pie. The only note I have to add is that if I had let it simmer, it never would have reached the soft-ball stage, so I would recommend medium-low heat for that step.

I tried this recipe and it didn't turn out. I've wanted to make pumpkin fudge for a very long time. When I tasted the fudge, it just tasted like spices no pumpkin taste at all. I let it cool in the pan and before I could beat it, it hardened and got stuck in the pan. We had to soak it for over an hour before prying it out of the pan. I won't be trying this recipe again. Dea
