The fudge mixture needs to be smooth and free of any chunks.
Add pistachios to the mixture.

Transfer the fudge mixture into the pan.
Spread the mixture evenly with a clean spatula.
Sprinkle more pistachios on top of the fudge.
Gently press the nuts into the fudge. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours or preferably overnight.

Score the fudge using a 5-wheel pastry cutter, then turn the fudge block 90 degrees and score again to create even squares.
The fudge should now be scored into even squares.
Cut the edges of the fudge with a large knife, wiping the knife with a wet kitchen towel after each cut.
With the edges neatly squared, the fudge block is now ready to be cut into smaller pieces.
Cut the fudge block along the scored lines, wiping the knife with a wet kitchen towel after each cut.Turn the fudge block 90 degrees and push the pieces back together. Finish cutting the fudge using the scored guidelines.
Now, you can enjoy perfect pieces of pistachio fudge!
