Pro Tips

  1. Use real pumpkin! Make sure it’s pure pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling).
  2. Stir constantly. When melting the chocolate, keep stirring so it stays smooth and creamy.
  3. Line your pan with parchment paper. This makes it super easy to lift the fudge out for slicing.
  4. Let it set completely. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before cutting so the fudge holds its shape.
  5. Customize it! Add chopped pecans, swirl in caramel, or sprinkle sea salt for an extra flavor boost.

  • Medium saucepan
  • Spatula
