Simple Macadamia Nut Fudge image

My aunt now lives in Hawaii, and she keeps our family supplied with fresh pineapples, mangos and macadamia nuts...along with recipes like this one. When I run out of macadamias for candy-making, I substitute pecans. Whichever nuts I use, neighbors like this fudge so much that they have started to call me the "Candy Lady of Cleveland." -Vicki Fioranelli, Cleveland, Mississippi

This was the best fudge I've ever had! It was so smooth and creamy, and the macadamia nuts added the perfect amount of crunch. I will definitely be making this again and again.

Overall, I thought this fudge was pretty good. It was easy to make and it had a nice flavor. However, I think it could have been better if I had used a higher quality chocolate.

This fudge was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it was a little bit lighter and fluffier.

This fudge was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think next time I would use semisweet chocolate instead of milk chocolate.

I've made this fudge several times now and it's always a hit! It's so rich and creamy, and the macadamia nuts add a nice touch. I like to add a little bit of chopped dried cherries to mine for an extra burst of flavor.
