- 1 cup chopped walnuts, divided
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spread the nuts onto a baking sheet and place in preheated oven 5-7 minutes until fragrant. Shake the baking sheet halfway through baking so the nuts will toast evenly.
- Remove nuts from oven and set aside to cool completely.
- 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 heavy saucepan, combine sugar, brown sugar, evaporated milk, pumpkin, butter and spice.
- Bring to a full rolling 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 crème, 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 1/4 cup walnuts.
- Let stand on wire rack for 2 hours or until completely cooled.
- Refrigerate tightly covered.
- To cut, lift from pan; remove foil. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
