Ok so I was extremely intrigued by the idea of a pumpkin flavored fudge. I had to try it since I happened to have just about 1/2 cup pumpkin left after making pumpkin bread. In the end, it took longer than normal to get this up to soft ball stage but, once it got there, everything went smoothly. My only suggestion would be to use mini M&M candies instead of the chocolate chips and in a smaller amount ( 1 1/2 cups perhaps) because my batch felt a little too chocolatey. The spices stand out more in the parts that have less chocolate. Thanks for posting!
