How to Make Fantasy Pumpkin Fudge

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup light corn syrup, 1/2 cup evaporated milk, 1/4 cup pumpkin puree, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  2. Continue boiling, stirring frequently, until mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (240°F on a candy thermometer).
  3. Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup chopped pecans (or your favorite nuts).
  4. Pour into a lightly greased 9x9 inch baking pan.
  5. Let cool completely at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the fudge to set.
  6. Once firm, cut into squares and enjoy!
