This decadent autumn pumpkin spiced fudge recipe makes a wonderful gift for family, friends, and co-workers. It’s rich and sweet, and will most assuredly satisfy your sweet tooth.
During our Halloween party, B.O.B. Bob and I received a box of this homemade Pumpkin Spiced Fudge from two of our most amazing neighbors. They were even kind enough to leave out the nuts so that B.O.B. Bob could actually eat some. I’m not sure how to feel about this. Delighted that B.O.B. Bob won’t end up in the hospital from a serious nut allergy, or suffering complete dismay due to the fact that I don’t get to eat the entire box by myself. One thing is for sure, I will be making this fudge in the next few weeks, and I even have my own little bonus twist planned to make it even more outstanding, if that’s even possible. It involves pecans though, so there won’t be any sharing with B.O.B. Bob.
