Pistachio Fudge makes a pretty addition to a candy plate or a dessert buffet. It is quick and easy to make – almost foolproof. (I used a handmixer to make it even easier and to ensure everything was well mixed.) The fudge has a smooth, almost fondant like texture that contrasts nicely with the crunchy pistachios. It’s delicate flavor surrounds the robust nut flavor for a nice balance. Pistachios are a member of the cashew family and are nutritionally dense with proven health benefits. There ya go . . . Enjoy!
