Spiced Pumpkin Fudge



This recipe has fast become a family favorite. We had been to a candy store & tried some pumpkin fudge and loved it so much we decided to find a recipe & make it at home. It's a delicious treat for this time of year, and makes great gifts for those that enjoy the spice of pumpkin.
