Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3.5 cups milk chocolate morsels
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice extract
  • 0.5 cups chopped pecans or walnuts (optional) For added crunch
  • 1 tablespoon cooking spray For greasing the pan
Optional Garnishes
  • 1 cup white chocolate (for drizzling)
  • to taste sea salt (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare an 8x8 pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying a light coat of cooking spray on the foil. Set aside.
Cooking
  1. Place the chocolate morsels and sweetened condensed milk in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for 60-90 seconds until mostly melted.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients (pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin spice extract) and stir until well combined.
  3. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and place it in the refrigerator, covered, for 3-4 hours to set.
  4. Once the fudge has set, remove it from the pan, peel away the foil, and cut it into squares.
  5. Store leftover fudge in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
  6. Optional: Drizzle melted white chocolate on top and create a swirl pattern with a spatula. Garnish with pecans or roasted pumpkin seeds, or a little sea salt.

Notes

Your pumpkin fudge will stay fresh in the refrigerator for about 1-2 weeks when stored in an airtight container. For longer storage, wrap individual pieces in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag to keep well for up to three months.
