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 youll 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 youll be giving these as gifts.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
