Yield: 4 Dozen
3 oz Box Vanilla Pudding
-mix, (NOT instant)
1 c Granulated sugar
5 oz Can Evaporated milk
2 tb Butter or Margarine
1 tb Pistachio
Green food coloring
1/2 c Pistachio nuts, chopped
Grease an 8 x 13-inch cake pan or candy molds (if you
have them). Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the pudding mix, sugar
and evaporated milk. Stir to combine. Over medium
heat, bring mixture to a boil. Continue boiling 5
minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and
stir in the butter and flavoring. Tint to desired
color.
Pour mixture into a medium bowl. Beat on high speed
with an electric mixer 4-5 minutes or until mixture
thickens and is no longer glossy. Fold in the
pistachio nuts.
Pour mixture into candy molds, or into the greased pan.
Refrigerate until firm.
Wrap candy pieces in plastic wrap, or if you can find
it, colored paper. Of course you'll have to cut the
candy in the pan. If you have small hors d' ouvre
cutters, that would work in lieu of the candy molds.
Plain ol' squares work too.
Find a pretty box to put the candy in if you'll be
giving these as gifts. Store in an airtight container
in the refrigerator.
