This holiday Pumpkin Fudge recipe brings the taste of the season with pumpkin, white chocolate and marshmallow.
I hope you aren’t sick of pumpkin yet!!
If you are a regular follower, you will have noticed that for the past few months, I’ve been featuring an old recipe here every Sunday. Technically, this one is old as well, first published back in November of 2007. But back then, I blogged a little differently, and I have a few posts that have multiple recipes in them. Since I’m a little OCD with my organizing lately, it was driving me crazy to have two recipes that were so different in the same post, so I decided to break them up into 2 posts.
So here we are, with the Pumpkin Fudge recipe. (The sweet potato recipe is still in the same post, and it’s a recipe you need for Thanksgiving!!)
I have actually been wanting to remake this recipe for years, but I never quite got around to it before. But I love, love fudge, and well, we all know that I love pumpkin, so it’s only natural that I would love this fudge.
This Pumpkin Fudge was seriously super simple. No candy thermometer, no special equipment. When I first made this back in 2007, it was super soft, but this time around, it came out perfect. I’m almost wondering if I didn’t cook it long enough the first time. The only changes I made this time vs the first time were to use white chocolate chips instead of chopped white chocolate, and to put the mixture in an 8×8-inch dish instead of a 9×13. I wanted thicker versus thinner, and I would definitely stick to the 8×8.
This is the perfect fall/holiday treat! I’m not going to wait so long to make it again!

So I made this fudge and it is not setting, it’s still gooey. I don’t know where i went wrong or if anyone has found a solution to this? I see several people have had this problem. Any help would be wonderful!! Thank you Happy holidays!!

I made this and it turned out perfect! I followed the directions exactly, and it was so delicious. I will definitely make this again. I even had people ask for the recipe. Thank you for sharing.

I made these yesterday. They tasted very good but did NOT come out like fudge! Was very sticky and I had a hard time even getting it out of the pan! I ended up making some pumpkin cookies and putting my “fudge” on top as a frosting, and it was good!

Not sure how mine will turn out as it is cooling right now. We’re the marshmallows supposed to melt? They didn’t so I reheated it until it did. I also only had half the white chocolate chips I needed so I added some butterscotch chips. I think it tastes pretty good! Now my fingers are crossed for texture!

I do not know where I went wrong but mine was super liquidy and inedible

I just made a batch of this fudge and it came out gooey. More like nought than actual fudge. In comparing your recipe and seeing the recipes of other fudge I’ve made, I think your recipe should actually double the sugar and use more butter (maybe double, maybe more). The marshmallows conflict with the hardening and setup of the fudge. The overall taste is good, but in this stage it’s not a fudge. I’m thinking about rolling the pieces into balls and covering with graham crackers as a sort of truffle.
Kamra says
I’m curious if you tried the truffle idea? Mine turned out exactly like yours? I have no idea why it’s driving me insane.

So excited about this find! I just made a batch with pecans and it’s chilling in the fridge now! Pray it comes out well, texture-wise, since I’m still getting used to our stove. Either way, Thank you!
Deborah says
I hope it turned out well for you. I love the addition of pecans!
