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 fudge is heavenly! It's so creamy and smooth, and the macadamia nuts are the perfect addition. I'll definitely be making this again and again.

This fudge is a bit too rich for me. I think I'll try using half the amount of butter next time.

Not a fan. The fudge is too sweet for my taste and the macadamia nuts are too crunchy.

This fudge is a disaster! It never set properly and it turned out grainy. I don't know what I did wrong.

I was disappointed with this fudge. It was too hard and crumbly. I think I overcooked it. I'll try again using a lower temperature.

This fudge is good, but it's not my favorite. I found it to be a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using dark chocolate next time.
