Pistachio Fudge
Creamy on the inside and salty on top. This Pistachio Fudge has two of my favorite flavor combos.
For anytime of year! Perfect for St. Patrick’s Day, Easter or Christmas! This Pistachio Fudge will always be welcome.
Pistachio Salad was ALWAYS on our holiday table. So as you might guess I love pistachio desserts. Like my Pistachio Salad Mousse Pie or my Pistachio Pudding Ice Cream.
The easiest way to get the perfect pistachio flavor every time is by using pistachio pudding mix and that’s exactly what I did to create this delicious sweet and salty fudge.

Sheryl,
Love this fudge. Wish I had some now.

Cant this be made ahead of time? Can I freeze it?
Hi Cathy, I have never frozen fudge. I would be worried about the moisture melting the candy.
Hello — How do you cut 42 pieces of fudge from an 8×8 pan? Is that correct? That’s 21 cuts in each direction, right? That would make pieces of fudge that are approximately 1/3 inch square… The photo looks like the pieces are maybe an inch square, which means you’d get 16 from that pan.
Hi Becky, I cut my fudge into really small pieces.
Salted pistachios?
Hi Allison, Yes, salted pistachios.
Is there another option for the pudding mix? I don’t think we get the pistachio pudding mix here in NZ.
Hi Val, Yes you can substitute any flavor of pudding mix.
Can you stir the nuts into the fudge mixture? Will I be able to store on a cookie tray or do they need to remain refrigerated
Hi Sue, Yes you can stir the nuts into the fudge. You can also add it to your cookie tray. It will dry out if left outside of a sealed container for sometime.
Is it supposed to have a little graininess, I stirred on low heat for quite along time, and it’s a little grainy
It is a little bit at first but once you refrigerate it the moisture from the refrigerator takes the graininess away.
Your recipe says 1-1/2 Tbs. Is it 1tbs and 1/2 tbs or
just a 1/2 tbs
Hi Diane, I know that can be kind of confusing. Here’s a rule I go by when writing my recipes. If it says tablespoon then you can assume that it is a singular amount (1/2 or 1). If it says tablespoons then you can assume it is multiple amounts as in this case of 1 1/2 tablespoons. I hope this helps with this recipe and future ones too! Have a great week!
I FREEZE MY FUDGE AL THE TIME. At Christmas I make about 30 boxes for little gifts so I start in November I wrap them in little boxes decorate the boxes with ribbons and when I need one box I take it out for a few hours and voila a nice little giift it is perfect.
That is so amazing Suzanne!
Can i use parchment paper and a 8X8 Pyrex dish ? I bought the I gradients but didn’t read ahead and I don’t have foil nor a pan that’s 8X8 lol..
Sure Johnny, The size of the pan is all that matters and the foil helps with the ease of pulling out the fudge. So using a glass instead of metal pan and using parchment paper instead of foil will still work perfectly.
