Chocolate Pistachio Fudge

Submitted by Tisme

"A Nigella Lawson recipe from her new book, which is so quick and easy! After making this recipe, I realised there are so many things you could add to this recipe. It is such a simple and basic recipe which anyone could adapt to suit their own tastes. You could add glace cherries, dried fruits, marshmallows...the list goes on! I am going to use this recipe as a basis now and make different versions! This is such an easy and wonderful recipe."

Absolutely delicious! This recipe will definitely be on my list of holiday goodies; although, it would be good any time of the year. I love the idea that you can freeze it and partake of it in small bites until it mysteriously disappears and you are drawn to make a new batch. Next time I may add some dried cranberries along with the pistachios. Made for the AUS/NZ Tag Game, September, 2011.

WOW! This is great fudge! I made the recipe as is just to see how it would taste, & I wasn't disappointed! And you're right ~ It lends itself to many variations! Another time I'd like to add dried cherries, but as is, it's extremely nice! Thanks for sharing! [Made & reviewed as a kidnapped recipe in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #16]
