Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 c chocolate chips, semi sweet are the best (i have tried this with white chocolate chips & it does not work)
1 can(s) 14 oz sweetened condensed milk not evaporated milk
1 dash(es) small dash of salt, this is optional
1 c chopped walnuts, or nuts of your choice. this turns out just fine if you omit the nuts also.
1 1/2 tsp of good quality vanilla extract, if you don't have any on hand just leave it out
1 tsp either butter or margarine

Steps:

1. Do not try to double this recipe (it will burn), it will not work. Make one batch at a time.
2. Line a 8 or 9 inch square pan with tin foil extending over the edges of the pan.
3. Pour sweetened condensed milk into heavy sauce pan over very low heat, add the butter or margarine, and pinch of salt. Stir until melted, if this mixture ever starts to boil your heat is on way too high.
4. Add the chips one cup at a time to the condensed milk mixture over low heat while stiring constantly. Wait to add the next cup of chips until your first cup has melted, doing this until all 3 cups are added. This mix will be very thick.
5. Take chocolate off the heat & quickly stir in 1 cup of whatever nuts you have chosen & the vanilla extract. If you choose to omit these the recipe will be just fine.
6. Pour the warm chocolate into you foil lined pan while smoothing the mix into the corners, let cool for 2 hours until firm, and then cut into squares (after peeling off the foil) Keep in an airtight container, and this is best if only made one day ahead because the fudge will start to lose its shine & dry out on day 3 (still tastes good just not as pretty if you are giving it as gifts)
