Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter
- 0.67 cup evaporated milk
- 0.5 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 7 ounces marshmallow creme
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with aluminum foil, leaving some overhang for easy removal, and lightly spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, light brown sugar, unsalted butter, evaporated milk, and pumpkin puree.
Step 3
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it comes to a boil. Once boiling, continue to cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring often to prevent scorching. Use a candy thermometer to ensure the mixture reaches 235°F (soft-ball stage).
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the pumpkin pie spice, marshmallow creme, white chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
Step 5
Fold the chopped walnuts into the fudge mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Step 6
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until fully set. For faster results, place the dish in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes.
Step 8
Once set, lift the fudge out of the dish using the foil overhang. Peel away the foil and cut the fudge into 24 squares.
Step 9
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
