Fresh Pumpkin Fudge

• Happy Halloween! I'm not one for dressing up, but I'm certainly celebrating the holiday by making some pumpkin fudge from scratch. What a treat! Too bad I can't give it out to any trick-or-treaters. I'll have to just give them the Reese's Peanut Butter cups, which is probably for the best, since I keep snacking on them. Anyways...I hope y'all are finding your own special way to celebrate this All Hallow's Eve!
