FANNY FARMER FUDGE RECIPE - RICH AND CREAMY

Steps:

• Boil sugar and milk for 6 minutes while stirring constantly. (Start timing when it's at a rolling boil.)
• Remove from heat.
• Add remaining ingredients except nuts.
• Beat well until thoroughly combined. This will be easiest with a hand mixer or KitchenAid stand mixer. Beat for around 5-10 minutes, longer if doing it by hand. If you stop too soon the butter might separate.
• Fold in nuts.
• Spread into a 9x13 pan.
• After it's firmed up (bring to room temperature and cool in the fridge if your house is warm), cut into squares.
• Leftover fudge can be stored in the freezer.
