      This is a great recipe! My first time making them. I cut back the powdered sugar to less than half a cup because it just seemed like so much sugar on top of the condensed milk. I know fudge is meant to be really sweet but these turned out amazing even with less sugar.

      Can a cashew butter be used instead of peanut butter?

      Can a cashew butter be used in place of the peanut butter? (For a serious cashew lover).
