Pumpkin Pie Fudge Recipe
Each year when the holidays roll around, I find myself missing not only my youth but the ones who are no longer with us. My Wela was the greatest woman who ever lived, in my eyes and many others’. She was strong and brave in all instances, and a warrior when the circumstances demanded it. She taught me so much in life, and as I continue to grow, my one hope is to do her memory proud.
Wela came to the states in December 1963 from Caguas, Puerto Rico, just in time for Nochebuena and Navidad. I spent every Nochebuena with Wela and she shared her history and culture with me. She taught me to cook and bake, and to carry out traditions that have been in our family for centuries. My favorite is the tradition of Nochebuena, the night before Christmas, where we do our celebrating (presents, food, fun.) I spend a lot of time each year planning out the menus and schedule to make sure it’s a night we’ll never forget.
This year I decided to stock up on my baking essentials early. I found a ton of goodies at Wal-Mart in the Baking Center and baking aisle. We’re talking necessities here people!
As you can see, I stocked up on a lot of the necessities. Nestlé Toll House Morsels are a time-honored ingredient for holiday baking, nothing says love like chocolate! Nestle Carnation Milk was always in Wela’s pantry and it’s always in mine too. It has brought so many desserts together over the years because nothing compares to its rich, creamy goodness. The Nestle Tollhouse Holiday Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is really going to come in handy thanks to all of the interesting flavors! Santa won’t be lacking in the cookie department this year, especially since the hard part is taken care of. I can’t wait to experiment with the Toll House Brownies & More Baking Mix; why stop at Butterfinger when there are so many possibilities?!
I couldn’t wait until Christmas to start making sweet treats. I decided to make some of Wela’s amazing Pumpkin Pie Fudge and it came out so great I just had to share the recipe. I actually prefer this to pumpkin pie since I’m not a huge fan of crust. You get the amazing, creamy pumpkin pie experience without the hassle of crust.
This is one of my favorite traditions passed down from my favorite person using one of my favorite brands, Nestle. I’d love to know what yours is! Leave me a comment and let me know.
