My fudge mixture is extremely sticky; is that normal?

Yes, the recipe notes the mixture will be extremely sticky before refrigeration, which is perfectly normal and helps the bites bind together.

Can I substitute the almonds and walnuts with other nuts?

While almonds and walnuts provide a specific texture, you could experiment with other nuts like pecans or cashews, ensuring they are roughly processed as directed.

How long do these fudge bites need to chill before serving?

The Almond Butter Cranberry Fudge Bites require at least 3 hours of refrigeration to firm up properly before you cut them into squares.

What's the best way to store leftover Almond Butter Cranberry Fudge Bites?

Keep these fudge bites refrigerated in an airtight container and take them out just before you plan to serve them to maintain their firm texture.

Can I adjust the sweetness level of these fudge bites?

The recipe uses 1/4 cup agave or coconut nectar; you could slightly reduce this amount if you prefer a less sweet bite, keeping in mind it aids in binding.
