Pumpkin Spice Pepita Fudge
Indulge in the warm and cozy flavors of fall with this delectable Pumpkin Spice Pepita Fudge. This rich and creamy fudge combines the comforting taste of pumpkin spice with the delightful crunch of pepitas, creating a sweet treat that will satisfy your autumn cravings. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. If desired, sprinkle the reserved pepitas on top for an extra pop of texture and visual appeal.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2-3 hours, or until it is firm and set. This chilling process allows the fudge to solidify and develop its rich and creamy texture.
Once the fudge is set, remove it from the baking dish using the parchment paper as handles. Cut it into small squares or rectangles, depending on your preference.
Serve the Pumpkin Spice Pepita Fudge as a delightful treat for yourself or as a homemade gift for friends and family. The combination of pumpkin spice, creamy white chocolate, and crunchy pepitas will transport you to a cozy autumn wonderland with every bite.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, if it lasts that long!
