May the fudge be with you!
Almond Butter Pumpkin “Fudge”
Holiday season is upon us and that means unexpected guests, house parties, office parties, and schedules stretched nearly to the breaking point. But it’s also a time for celebration and sweets. This fudge takes 15 minutes of active time and two hours in the freezer to make. You probably already have all of the ingredients you need for it in your pantry.
Feel free to double the recipe if bringing this to any holiday gathering. They also make cute host/ess gifts. Pumpkin makes these seasonal and almond butter makes them irresistible. It may sound like an odd combination but the sweetness of the brings it all together. Trust me on this one, it works, really, really, really well. And it’s ready in less than 15 minutes of active time. (It does have to chill in the freezer but you can get a taste of it off the spoon, no judgement.)
