Start by chopping the Golden Oreo cookies, candy corn and pecans.

Place them in a food processor and pulse until they make a crumbly mixture. Place the marshmallow cream and white chocolate in the bowl of a stand mixer but don’t mix it just yet. Line a 9 x 9 pan with greased aluminum foil.

Cook the milk, sugar and evaporated milk until it is smooth and creamy, then bring it to a boil and continue cooking for about 5-7 minutes, stirring the whole time.

Use the soft ball method to make sure it is done enough. Have a glass of water near your stove and drop bits of the fudge mixture into the water. If it stays runny it needs more cooking time. If it forms a small ball when you pick it up, it has cooked enough.

Remove and cool slightly and add to the marshmallow and chocolate mixture. Beat until it is smooth and creamy. Add the pulsed cookies and candy corn and mix in gently. You want a little texture left to the fudge.

Add the fudge mixture to the prepared pan and spread evenly. Top it with whole candy corn and the chopped pecans. Place in the fridge to set for 3-4 hours.

Once the fudge has set, cut it into squares about 1 inch in size. Try to get a piece of candy corn on each fudge piece if you can.

This fudge is one great old decadent bite of homey fall deliciousness. It is quite sweet but not over the top. The cookies give it a bit of texture and the pecans add some crunch.

Store in an air tight container in the fridge. It also freezes well. Candy corn is such a part of the holiday season. It is the perfect fudge to serve on Halloween, and with the pecans, it also makes a wonderful Thanksgiving sweet treat.
