This Butterscotch Pumpkin Spice Walnut Fudge is a butterscotch based fudge mixed with pumpkin spice marshmallows and filled with walnuts.
Long time readers of this blog know that about this time of year I like to start making fudge.
I make a lot of fudge.
So much so people assume that I sell it for a living.
Which I probably should just by how many people assume I sell it and try and put in orders.
And like most recipes on this blog my fudge is not the normal fudge.
There is Pineapple Upside Down Cake Fudge.
Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough Truffle Fudge.
And so many, many more.
This year I’m starting off with a fall flavor.
Butterscotch Pumpkin Spice Walnut Fudge to be exact.
Every year I buy pumpkin spice marshmallows and other than cereal treats I don’t do much with them.
If you can’t find the marshmallows then use 7oz marshmallow creme with 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice in place of the marshmallows.
These are classic flavors with the butterscotch, pumpkin, and walnut.
But get ready because the fudge making has commenced.
And last but not least, it’s a great day to order my cookbook.
