Pumpkin and cinnamon fudge is a traditional sweet that combines the creamy and smooth flavor of fudge with the aroma and freshness of pumpkin and cinnamon. This recipe has its roots in American home cooking, especially popular during the fall season and holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving. Fudge itself is an American sweet that emerged in the late 19th century as a less complex variant of caramel, and over time it has been enriched with different flavors and textures.
In various Latin American countries, fudge is not as common as in the United States, but it resembles traditional sweets like "cajeta" in Mexico or "dulce de leche" in Argentina, although with a different texture. In some places, similar variants called "tabletas de dulce" or "pan de dulce" with similar flavors might be found, although the specific combination of pumpkin and cinnamon is more typical of the fall season in North American culture.
