Buttery Pumpkin Pie Fudge
Makes about 2 dozen
Ingredients
- 12 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- ⅔ cup evaporated milk
- ½ cup canned pumpkin
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 (12-ounce) package white chocolate morsels
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions
- Line a 13×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, letting excess extend over sides of pan; spray parchment with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large heavy saucepan, bring butter and next 7 ingredients to a boil over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture reaches 240° on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat, and stir in white chocolate and vanilla until melted and smooth. Stir in pecans, if desired.
