This got a double thumbs up by all my ‘official’ taste testers (the boys/husband)! The sourness of the lemon counteracts beautifully with the sweetness of the fudge, and the dry roasted macadamias gives it an earthiness. Beautiful with a cup of tea, and super easy to eat!

Notes
*Fudge can be kept in a cool, dry place/or in the fridge for a few weeks, OR kept in the freezer for a few months. **If you want it extra lemony, you can add more lemon zest, or a few drops of pure lemon essential oil. ***You can use other types of nuts instead of macadamias i.e. almonds, cashews.
