Nut Goodie Fudge

There are just some recipes that seem to stand the test of time. That tried once, you just can’t help but make them again, over and over. One Christmas tradition for us has been this nut goodie fudge. My mom started making it for our family when I growing up and it was always on my list of favorites during the holiday season. She adapted a maple nut goodie bar from an old Pillsbury cookbook to suit our tastes. While it was called a bar, this really is a fudge. Keep in mind that this recipe makes a huge pan and is great for gatherings or gift giving.   This would be a fabulous addition to your own holiday baking whether it be for Christmas, Valentine’s or Easter!
