The hubby found this great recipe for Pistachio Fudge on Facebook. This recipe turned out amazing and I conveniently already had everything I needed to make it. I'm a little late on the "green food" for St. Patty's Day but maybe for next year! Or Christmas since the weather outside looks like Christmas will be coming again. Bleh! Anyway, here's the recipe! Enjoy!
