Cookie Recipe #20 - Pumpkin Spice Fudge


Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends
  • You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out
  • You get new recipes
  • You often have snacks or games!
That being said, I do one every year - in December, about 2 weeks before Christmas. (You can read about it HERE or see a TV segment I did on it http://youtu.be/-iUR7GlAiQw).

I thought it would be fun to have a collection of 30 fun recipes to try - one a day in November - so you can be prepared for that holiday baking!

Today's recipe idea comes from Aunt Peg's Recipe Box



2 c. sugar

1 c. brown sugar, packed

3/4 c. butter (no substitutions)

2/3 c. evaporated milk

1/2 c. pumpkin puree

1 1/2 tsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice

1 (12 oz.) pkg. white chocolate chips

1 (7 oz.) jar Marshmallow creme

1 c. chopped pecans or macadamia nuts (optional)

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Butter a 9 x 13 baking dish. Combine the first 6 ingredients in a heavy saucepan: cook over medium heat until the sugars dissolve, then continue cooking until the mixture begins to boil, stirring constantly. Boil until a candy thermometer reaches the the soft-ball stage (234 ~ 243 degrees). Remove from heat, stir in the white chips until they are all melted and mixture is smooth. Add the remaining ingredients, mix well. Pour into prepared pan, and cool to room temperature. Cut into squares, store refrigerated in an air tight container. Makes approx. 60 pieces.
Note: The total boiling time is around 30 minutes.
