If you love pumpkin spice everything, this Pumpkin Spice Fudge is going to be your new favorite fall treat. It’s creamy, cozy, and packed with warm pumpkin spice flavors that melt in your mouth.
The best part? It’s super easy—no candy thermometer needed! Just melt, mix, and chill.
Let’s get started!
What You’ll Need
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- ½ cup canned pumpkin purée
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ tsp pumpkin spice (or mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves)
- ¼ tsp salt
- Optional topping: Extra cinnamon, chopped pecans, or a white chocolate drizzle
Pro Tips
- Use real pumpkin! Make sure it’s pure pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling).
- Stir constantly. When melting the chocolate, keep stirring so it stays smooth and creamy.
- Line your pan with parchment paper. This makes it super easy to lift the fudge out for slicing.
- Let it set completely. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before cutting so the fudge holds its shape.
- Customize it! Add chopped pecans, swirl in caramel, or sprinkle sea salt for an extra flavor boost.
Tools You’ll Need
- Medium saucepan
- Spatula
- 8×8-inch baking dish
