In my never ending quest to find all the incredible pumpkin recipes on the face of the earth, that are NOT called pie–we’ve talked about this before— I came upon this recipe innocently enough on a blog called Family Bites. This amazing fudge is smooth, creamy and —I shutter to say—has all the positive traits of pumpkin pie without…you know…being…pumpkin pie. All the right spices and flavors in a little, bitty scrumptious pumpkiny morsel—that I dare you to leave alone for 10 minutes at a time. I know I couldn’t–and I’m incredibly brave.
It’s magic I tell you.
Beware…be-WARE!!
Ingredients:
3 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
2 T. corn syrup
1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
12 oz. white chocolate chips
7 oz. jar marshmallow cream
1 tsp. vanilla
Directions:
Melt butter in a 3-1/2 quart saucepan. Add milk, pumpkin, and sugar. Stir over medium heat till sugar begins to dissolve, then add corn syrup and spice. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture comes to a full boil. Allow the candy to boil for 10 minutes–stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, in the bowl of your mixer, blend marshmallow cream and vanilla for about a minute. Let sit.
Remove candy from heat and slowly add the white chocolate chips, a handful at a time. Stir until melted, then add the rest a bit at a time. Pour candy into marshmallow mixture and blend on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Immediately pour into a lightly buttered 9 x 13 Pyrex baking dish. Allow to set for about 30 minutes. Cut in squares and cover with foil.

That looks really yummy!!! I’m going to have to try this SOON!
I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin pie either… but I like other pumpkin flavored things. This fudge was pretty darn good! Great recipe! 😀
I absolutely love anything pumpkin! So I can’t wait to try this pumpkin fudge. I’m always looking for new recipes to put in my gift boxes at Christmas time. This will definitely be one of them if I don’t eat all of it! 😆
I positively LOVED this fudge. I’m actually not a huge pumpkin pie fan, but I’m like you in that I love anything else with our favorite little Autumn squash. Pumpkin bread…pumpkin cookies…pumpkin cake. COME TO ME! :}
