Cookie Recipe #9: Pistachio Fudge

By -
Ok, it's not really a cookie, more of a candy. The delightful green color just seems to fit into the holiday season and I ADORE Pistachios, LOL!
 
This recipe comes directly from McCormick Foods. If you're a fudge and a pistachio lover, this is the recipe for you! Its so easy to make and delicious, too.
 
Since it comes from McCormick Foods, you see their name a lot. You CAN use other brands of extracts, etc to make this, just an FYI.
