2. Pour sweetened condensed milk into the melted chocolate.
3. Mix together the melted chocolate and sweetened condensed milk. A thick consistency will form.
4. Add the pumpkin puree and the pumpkin pie spice.
5. Work the puree and spice into the white chocolate mixture until smooth.

7. Remove the pumpkin fudge from the refrigerator and peel away the parchment paper. Cut into squares and serve.
Hint: We have found that white chocolate melts best when using brands like Nestle or Ghirardelli. Off-brand white chocolate doesn't always melt properly making it hard to work with.
Substitutions
- Pumpkin Spice- don't have pumpkin spice? Use 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, and ⅛ teaspoon of clove.
- Almond Bark - Use almond bark instead of white chocolate chips at a 1:1 ratio. 12 ounces of almond barks.
Variations
- Pecans - before letting the fudge set, sprinkle the top with ½ cup of chopped pecans.
- Walnuts - add ½ cup chopped walnuts to the top of the fudge after you pour it into the 8x8 baking dish.
Equipment
Storage
For best results cut the fudge after it has been in the refrigerator overnight.

Top tip
You may be tempted to add more pumpkin to the white chocolate mixture but DO NOT DO THIS! It will make it so the fudge does not set right.
Not all white chocolate is created equal. Through trial and error we have found that off-brand white chocolate chips do not melt properly making it hard to work with. We tend lean towards brands like Nestle and Ghirardelli.
