Peppermint bark is awesome. Fudge rules. Put them together (and remove loads

 of fat and calories) and you get this guilt-free treat that awesomely rules.

Ingredients:
2 cups canned pure pumpkin (Libby's is best!)
One 18.3-oz. box Betty Crocker Fudge Brownies mix
3 tbsp. white chocolate chips, roughly chopped
1 standard-size candy cane or 5 mini candy canes, lightly crushed

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8" X 8" baking pan with nonstick spray and set
aside.

In a large bowl, combine pumpkin with brownie mix; stir until smooth. (Don't add anything
else!) Transfer mixture to the pan.

Bake until edges are slightly firm and top center is dry to the touch, about 35 minutes.
(Batter may look undercooked; this is okay.)

Immediately sprinkle with chopped chocolate chips and crushed candy cane(s). Allow fudge
to cool.

Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 2 hours.(This fudge
 tastes best when chilled overnight.) Cut into 36 squares and serve!
