I love pumpkin pie and all pumpkin flavored desserts! Pumpkin Fudge is one of my new favorite fall treats!
Fall is more and more in the air here in Arizona as the high all week has been in the mid to high 80s. I know, I know, that still seems pretty warm, but it feels awesome and we love it! My kids had fall break this week and had two days off of school. We enjoyed the amazing weather at the park with some friends and also had a great sushi lunch and movie date! Now that both my kids are in school all day and we are busy with baseball and gymnastics, I really love any extra time I get to spend with them! We have been loving playing outside after school and going on afternoon bike rides!
On the day my kids went back to school after fall break, I made Pumpkin Fudge for their after school snack! It is really yummy and everyone LOVED it! I took some to my friends across the street and it was a huge hit there as well!

Have made this recipe twice. First with Ghiradelli white chips. 2nd time, I chopped a Ghiradelli white chocolate baking bar (I think it’s a 4oz bar). Using the white chocolate made a huge and wonderful difference. I read the chips vs the bar descriptions and nowhere on the chips does it say it is white chocolate….My husband raves about this fudge – he refused to believe he would like it. Ha! He was so surprised when he finally tried it! Thanks for posting the recipe – a new holiday tradition for my family!
