Chocolate and Walnut Fudge

This Chocolate and Walnut Fudge is rich and divine! It only uses 5 ingredients and doesn't require a candy thermometer to make.

My sweet tooth can't deny delicious fudge. Peanut butter is my absolute favorite, but I'll eat pretty much any flavor fudge that you are willing to share with me. However, I've always been too scared to make it. Candy thermometers, just the right temperature, watching it constantly..not my thing.

Ironically, my mom who can burn water, makes really decent fudge. I can't figure out how this is possible. I used to leave the fudge making to my mom and aunt who can perfect it pretty much every time. But when I found this recipe on So How's it Taste? while searching for something to make for the SRC, I knew I needed to check it out ASAP.

I took one bite of this fudge and immediately portioned out ¾ of it for Tom to take to work. I don't need something this tasty hanging around the house. Ever. I honestly couldn't believe that such a simple recipes produces such tasty fudge! I'm very interested in playing around with this to see if I can achieve similar results with peanut butter, white chocolate, cinnamon and butterscotch chips, as well as adding in different mix-ins to your standard chocolate variety.
