Spiced Pumpkin Fudge

12 bars or 24 squares

Prep time: 5 min
+ 25 min to set Cook time: 2 min

This Spiced Pumpkin Fudge will fulfill all your cravings for a seasonal treat with a few simple real-food ingredients. 

It’s just the right blend of rich creamy fats, slightly sweet pumpkin, and warm autumn spices, with a few pumpkin seeds scattered overtop to add a satisfying crunch. Pumpkin is an excellent source of vitamin A, which supports skin, eye health, the immune system, and more, and pumpkin seeds are a great source of protein, iron, and magnesium. Just a few reasons why it’s great to take advantage of this seasonal squash.

You can make my Spiced Pumpkin Fudge using bar molds or simply pour it into a parchment-lined pan, and feel free to cut it into small squares rather than bars for extra pieces to share. Pop it in the back of the freezer for a minimum of 25 minutes to set, or longer for firmer fudge. These are a great, super easy option to make when you’re short on time but want a healthy treat to enjoy at school, work, or on-the-go all week long. 

I hope you enjoy!

Wishing you health and happiness,
