How to make this easy pumpkin pie fudge recipe
Step 1: Line an 8x8-inch square pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2: In a medium saucepan over low-medium heat, melt the white chocolate chips and vanilla icing, stirring constantly. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate and icing in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring in 30-second intervals until melted.
Step 3: Once melted, whisk in the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt. Stir continuously until combined.
Step 4: Immediately pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan.
Step 5: Transfer the fudge to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
Step 6: Once the pumpkin spice fudge has set, cut your delicious fudge into small squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container, separating layers with plastic wrap.

Recipe FAQs
Store the fudge in an airtight container, separated by layers of parchment paper. It can be stored in the fridge for up to two weeks or in the freezer for up to three months.
Pumpkin pie filling comes pre-spiced and sweetened, so I do not recommend using it for this recipe.
Certainly! Feel free to add chopped pecans and walnuts, or top with caramel sauce.
If you didn't follow the recipe exactly or substituted the ingredients, the fudge may not set properly. Because pumpkin puree has a lot of moisture, you must use the amount of white chocolate given; otherwise, the fudge may not harden properly.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts. If the fudge is too hard, letting it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before cutting can help.
