Hey just sent this recipe to a friend of mine. 🙂
I made this for my husband’s office Thanksgiving lunch party today. It was sooo yummy! The only thing is that it’s insanely sugary/sweet. The consistency wasn’t quite as “hard” as I would like fudge to be, that could be because I don’t own a candy thermometer and used a meat thermometer, not sure. I would like to try lessening the amount of sugar or corn syrup next time because you can only stand to eat a teeny square of it. The pumpkin flavor is excellent for fudge and a nice break from the usual flavors. Thanks for the wonderful recipe, it’s so great for the season! I cannot say enough how much I, my husband, and his coworkers loved the flavor! Excellent treat!
Mr Mimi and I sampled some pumpkin fudge at Costco a few weeks back. He wanted to but some, but not as much as you have to buy at Costco. I was hoping to find a recipe to make it for him. Thanks for the recipe.

Wow!! I can’t imagine anything better than pumpkin fudge!!
This look so decadent and delicious! I made chocolate fudge today, and can’t wait to make some Pumpkin Fudge.
Just this year, I’ve started baking with pumpkin (never really got excited about it before), and now I can’t get enough! This looks like a perfect new way to try it out. Thanks for sharing!
I saw this at FoodGawker and I think I stopped breathing! I love all things pumpkin and this fudge looks amazing! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
