Pumpkin Fudge

This is a perfect recipe for the next two months! I made this last week for a family reunion, and it was loved by all. It sort of reminds me of a praline with pumpkin. And it is also gluten-free, just in case you have a family member or friend that can't eat the cake and cookies! The picture copied really big...but it makes it look even more mouth-watering! I have this on my pinterest board. ~janice
