Fall is here and I am so excited! I spend much more time baking and making desserts in the cooler months, and this Salted Caramel Pumpkin Spice Fudge is a festive way to bring in the new autumn season!

This fudge is made with white chocolate chips and NO marshmallow fluff, resulting in a rich fudge. Of course I had to make these adorable marzipan pumpkins to decorate the Salted Caramel Pumpkin Spice Fudge with, which is perfect for fall/autumn! Learn how to make these marzipan pumpkins here and use them on all of your desserts and sweets for the season, especially Halloween and Thanksgiving!
If you swirl the caramel too deep, you may get caramel pockets like you can see in some of the pictures. While this is fun to see it gushing out, it does make it stickier and difficult to eat. The same is true if you use too much caramel and have a thick layer on top. But if you are okay with a little mess, use more caramel!
There is no actual pumpkin in this Salted Caramel Pumpkin Spice Fudge because it makes the mixture rather wet and difficult to set. And I love simple, fast fudge recipes for a quick treat! But you will still get a punch from the pumpkin spice seasoning.
I can’t wait to make these all fall long! What are your favorite fall treat to make?
Salted Caramel Pumpkin Spice Fudge
Ingredients
- 24 oz white chocolate chips (2 bags)
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
- 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice seasoning
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup caramel sauce (more or less to preference)
- sea salt (or kosher salt)
- marzipan pumpkins
Instructions
- Line a 9x9 baking dish with tin foil. Flatten out the bottom and sides.
- In a medium or large microwaveable bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate. Microwave on 30 second intervals, stirring thoroughly in between, until the chocolate is completely melted.
- Add the pumpkin spice, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir to combine.
- Pour the white chocolate mixture into the baking dish, pushing it into all the corners.
- Pour the caramel sauce over the white chocolate. Use a spatula or knife to gently swirl the caramel into the white chocolate. (If you dig too deep with the knife, it will create pockets of caramel inside that will leak later - your choice). Sprinkle with kosher or sea salt.
- Refrigerate the fudge for at least two hours, or leave out to solidify (typically at least 4 hours).
- When ready to serve, cut the fudge into a 6x6 grid for larger pieces or to your desired size. If the fudge is too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes first.
- Decorate with marzipan pumpkins.
This sounds wonderful! How long can you keep it in the refrigerator?
Hi Patti, It should last up to 4 weeks in the refrigerator, or up to a year in the freezer!
I made this fudge today, and it is delicious! I used an individual size container of caramel dip and kosher salt. The recipe is very easy and just what I want for my family gathering this weekend. Thanks for posting!
