Pumpkin Fudge Recipe
When the seasons change from Summer to Autumn, new seasonal foods start to become available. Autumn always makes me think of pumpkin, an extra versatile vegetable, so I thought I'd share a pumpkin fudge recipe with everyone! If you have the pumpkin spice bug like so many people get during the fall, this combination of creamy fudge and sweet pumpkin flavors will be sure to please. It's a nice alternative to traditional rich and chocolaty fudge recipes and it's really easy to make too!
