Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup chopped walnuts, divided in half
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2/3 cup evaporated milk
2/3 cup pureed pumpkin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cloves
1/8 teaspoon allspice
2 cups white chocolate chips
1 jar marshmallow creme
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract, optional

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the nuts onto a baking sheet and place in preheated oven 5-7 minutes until toasted. Shake the baking sheet halfway through baking so the nuts will toast evenly. Remove nuts from oven and set aside to cool. Line a 13 x 9-inch baking pan with foil letting the foil extend up the two short sides of the pan and overhang slightly on both ends. In a saucepan, combine sugar, brown sugar, evaporated milk, pumpkin, butter and spice. Bring to a full boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil, stirring constantly, for 10 to 12 minutes or until candy thermometer reaches 234° to 240º F (soft-ball stage). Quickly stir in white chocolate chips, marshmallow creme, 3/4 cup walnuts and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously for 1 minute or until morsels are melted. Immediately pour into prepared pan and top with remaining walnuts. Let stand on wire rack for 2 hours or until completely cooled. Refrigerate covered. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
