Foolproof Chocolate Fudge
1 1/2 C. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 C. milk chocolate chips
14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 t. vanilla
dash salt
1 C. chopped walnuts
In heavy saucepan, over low heat, melt chips with sweetened condensed milk and salt. Stir often. Remove from heat; stir in walnuts and vanilla. Spread evenly into wax paper lined 8- or 9-inch square pan. Chill 2 hours or until firm. Turn fudge onto cutting board; peel off paper and cut into squares. Store loosely covered at room temperature.
Microwave directions: In large glass bowl, mix chips with sweetened condensed milk and salt. Microwave for 2 minutes. Stir. Continue microwaving in 30-60 second increments until chips are completely melted. Stir in vanilla and nuts and continue as directed above.
Options: If you prefer darker fudge, use more semi-sweet. If you like chocolate mint, you can use mint flavored chocolate morsels.
Nut substitutes: mini M&M’s or toffee bits.
