Pumpkin Pie Fudge Recipe
Whoever decided to start making and serving fudge around the holidays deserves a reward! Fudge actually began as an accident in the late 1800s when a chocolate maker accidentally botched the making of French caramels. Baltimore, Maryland is where fudge first originated and its name has nothing to do with chocolate. It is named after the fact that the creator fudged and well, the treat was born.
Most of us are familiar with fudge shops as they are usually easy to find in just about every city. Fudge is extremely popular because of how easy it is to adjust and make new flavors. It is amazing all the flavors of fudge you can find and some people can be quite creative with it.
Whether you are making fudge for the holidays, a gift, or simply as a lovely confection to have in your home, this pumpkin pie fudge recipe is one you will want to make and share again and again.

Tips and variations for making this pumpkin pie fudge recipe:
● ½ cup of Butter is 8 tablespoons or 1 stick in the United States.
● The white chocolate used was chips, but you can also use melts.
● It is best if the rest of the ingredients are not altered as they specifically complement or counteract each other in the perfect manner. I would not be able to offer any other suggestions as substitutions that would work in the same manner.
● Fudge can be stored in the fridge or freezer in an airtight container. It will last up to two weeks in either situation. Fudge should never be stored at room temperature due to its ingredients.
