How to Make Spiced Pumpkin Fudge

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1/2 cup evaporated milk, 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, and 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula. Continue to boil, stirring constantly, until a candy thermometer reads 234°F (soft-ball stage), about 10-12 minutes. Be diligent in stirring to prevent scorching.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in 1 cup butterscotch morsels until completely melted and incorporated.
  4. Add 1 cup marshmallow cream, 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (or your favorite nut), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until completely smooth and well combined.
  5. Quickly pour the fudge mixture into a greased 13x9 inch baking pan. Spread evenly with a spatula.
  6. Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature, about 2-3 hours, or until set.
  7. Once completely cool, cut into squares and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
