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.

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
