Every time I buy a a can of mixed nuts, the poor little brazil nuts are always left in the can. I love these forgotten nuts, so I turned them into this Brazil Nut Fudge Recipe and added it to my list of my favorite gourmet fudge recipes.
I can’t possibly be the only one who has a partial can of mixed nuts in the pantry…only it’s no longer mixed nuts…it only has a bunch of brazil nuts left. These nuts are one of my favorite….I wish those cans of nuts had more in there. I have found them in the bulk bins at a couple stores, so you can easily get your hands on some if you don’t feel like picking through a can of mixed nuts.
I think this fudge is best with the unsalted brazil nuts, but if only have salted nuts just dust them off a little and go for it! It will be delicious either way!

I don’t know why this shows up as a vegan recipe. Condensed milk is not vegan.
That is odd Melinda. I don’t have it marked as Vegan, so I’m not sure why. I do have some vegan fudge recipes on my side…but this one definitely is not one of them. w-
