20 40 60

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon plus 3/4 cup butter, divided
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 package (10 ounces) cinnamon baking chips
  • 1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow creme
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  • Line a 13-in. x 9-in. pan with foil and grease the foil with 1 tablespoon butter; set aside. Cube the remaining butter and place in a large saucepan; add the sugars, milk, pumpkin, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and nutmeg.
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low; cook and stir until a candy thermometer reads 238° (soft-ball stage).
  • Remove from the heat. Stir in cinnamon chips until melted. Stir in the marshmallow creme, pecans and vanilla. Transfer to prepared pan. Chill until firm.
  • Using foil, lift fudge out of pan. Discard foil; cut fudge into 1-in. squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Yield: 3 pounds.

Editor's Note: We recommend that you test your candy thermometer before each use by bringing water to a boil; the thermometer should read 212°. Adjust your recipe temperature up or down based on your test.

I made this for a church pitch-in dinner at Thanksgiving and for a board dinner; and each time the fudge was loved and ate up. I am going to make it a tradition to make every year at Thanksgiving.

I took it to a Church pitch-in and they gobbled it up. I'm getting ready to make it a second time for another pitch-in!!

I made this for a work potluck, where people loved it. I let my family have a sample first, and they asked when are you going to make some just for us?
