"BOTW" Pumpkin Fudge

I have an overabundance of canned pumpkin taking up room in my pantry right now.  I completely stock up this time of year, so when I found this recipe for Pumpkin Fudge, online, it is now next in line for me to try.  I hope you'll enjoy it also!

Lower in fat than traditional chocolate fudge, I think it'll be a winner in my house.

Everything Pumpkin

October means everything pumpkin for me.  I love harvest time, I love the colors and I love pumpkin.

A few weeks ago when Paige and I were at the Harvest Fair I came across the vendor booth, Live-For-More-Fudge, inc.  They were selling all types of different flavored fudge.  They had chocolate of course, cookies and cream, peanut butter chocolate swirl, raspberry chocolate swirl, mint chocolate swirl, chocolate cabernet, chocolate chardonnay, chocolate jalapeno, and Pumpkin Pie....just to name a few.  As most of you know by now, I love pumpkin everything and I made a purchase of a small sized pumpkin pie flavored fudge.

This morning was the first time I tried it.  Yes, I said this morning.  I thought what a perfect thing to top my toast with {and maybe it'll keep me from heading to the coffee shop for a pumpkin spice misto!}

It was really good and I just wanted to share with you, just in case you come across some pumpkin pie fudge in the near future......you may want to try some yourself.

Happy Fall!
