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 onlinees 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!

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!
