For a richer flavor, use salted butter and omit a pinch of salt. Ensure the candy coating is finely chopped for easier melting. Chopping the pistachios to varying sizes adds textural interest. Be careful not to overcook the sugar mixture, as this will result in a grainy fudge. Use a candy thermometer for best results. If you don't have marshmallow creme, you can substitute with 1.5 cups of miniature marshmallows, but ensure they are fully melted. For a festive touch, sprinkle extra chopped pistachios on top of the fudge before it sets.
