Pumpkin Fudge

Fall officially starts tomorrow.  When I think of Fall, pumpkins and scarecrows come to mind.  I love all the Fall colors - the oranges, browns, yellows and golds - so pretty.  Everywhere you go you see pumpkins.  So in keeping with the spirit of Fall, I have been making "Fall" type recipes. 

Today I am going to make Pumpkin Fudge.  Trust me - this is good!!!  You will probably need to run to the store for the ingredients though.

Pumpkin Fudge

2 T butter
2 1/2 cups white sugar
2/3 cups evaporated milk
1 cup white chocolate chips
7 ounces marshmallow creme
3/4 cup canned pumpkin (not the pie mix)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract

1.  line a 9 x 9 inch pan with almunium foil
2.  In a medium size sauce pan, heat milk and sugar over medium heat.  Bring to a boil, stiring occasionally with a spoon.
3.  Mix in pumpkin and cinnamon.  Bring back to a boil.  Stir in marshmellow creme and butter.  Bring to a rolling boil.  Cook, stirring occasionally, for 18 minutes.
4.  Remove from heat.  Add white chocolate chips and vanilla.  Stir until creamy and all chips are melted.  Pour into prepared pan.  Cool.  Enjoy!!
