It is time for fudge! One of my favorites combines delicious dark chocolate and perfectly salty pistachios.

It’s perfection in a bite-sized dessert if you ask me!

You know fudge is one of my favorite things this time of year.  I love it so much & it brings back so many wonderful childhood memories.

I shared my mom’s secret recipe with a twist over at Jen’s place – Tatertots & Jello earlier. But I wanted to be sure to share it here with you all today too. It’s amazing – you won’t be able to stop yourself.

Just the right amount of salty to cut the sweetness – perfection. Oh, and if you can –  add a little extra on top – for fun.

I make this for every holiday party & it’s always the first thing on the buffet to run out. People are not shy about going back for again & again. I like to just sit by the table & snack until it’s gone.

This is the creamiest, most amazing fudge you will ever eat.  Melts in your mouth – incredible.

Here are some commonly asked questions

Can I use a different type of chocolate?

Yes, you can use all semi-sweet chocolate or milk chocolate for this recipe if you don’t want to make dark chocolate fudge.

But please don’t try to make this with 100% dark chocolate. The chocolate won’t have the right fat ratio to keep the fudge creamy once cooked.

Why did my fudge turn out grainy or watery?

This often happens when using low-quality chocolate. This is why I highly encourage you to use the best quality you can afford. I like to use either Guittard or Ghirardelli when making fudge.

HOW DO YOU MAKE Dark Chocolate Pistachio Fudge?

1. Line 9×13 glass pan with parchment & then spray lightly with cooking spray. Set aside.
2. Put semi-sweet chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips & vanilla in mixer bowl. Set aside.
3. Heat sugar, margarine, evaporated milk & marshmallow cream over medium heat.
4. Stir until mixture boils, boil for 5 full minutes- stirring constantly.
5. Remove from heat. Pour into mixer bowl over the top of the chocolate chips.
6. Beat with whip attachment in mixer until it’s smooth & looks like silk.
7. Add in pistachios – mix until just mixed throughout.
8. Transfer to your prepared dish.
9. Top with remaining pistachios & chocolate chunks.
10. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting & serving.

Do I need to use any special paper when printing this out?

I like to use card stock. While I typically default to white cardstock – but depending on your preference, you can print on brown kraft paper too.

What setting do I need to use for my printer for these printables?

Personally, I try to use at least the normal if not the best print quality setting. I have to be very conscious of this since I have my printer set to draft by default.

I can tell you, this doesn’t look so great when printed on draft quality. So make sure to go to a higher dpi when making these.

Love the pop of the green pistachios with the fudge.
