By weight, 3C of confectioners' sugar is equal to 375gr. This is a bit too much. Please use weight in your ingredients. I tripled the almond extract to compensate the sugar. I have the fudge setting now, but licking the bowl says it needs adjustments.

This fudge is so smooth full of pistachio flavor. Easy to make, and plenty to share with friends and family. I also put some in Holliday tins as gifts.
