Not that impressed...

Couldn't wait to make this fudge, as I love Macadamia nuts and coconut. But, it was very sweet and not as firm as would have liked. Hubby did like it, so I might give it another chance..

Good Fudge

This is good fudge, but quite sweet. I used over a cup of macadamias and they helped to cut the sweetness. I'd probably use a cup and a half next time. If you use evaporated milk in place of the coconut milk, you will need to add more coconut extract..

This was yummy!

This fudge was great! It was easy to make. I used part almonds and macadamia nuts since I did not have enough macadamias. Next time I would use all almonds and toast them. The taste was great and the subtle coconut flavor added alot of depth..
