1/3 cup cream
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1 cup powdered sugar
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
1 tsp vanilla extract
Prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray.
Combine the cream and corn syrup in a heavy saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir to combine. Over Medium High Heat, bring the mixture to a boil. Let it boil one minute, then turn the heat to low.
Add the chocolate chips and stir constantly, until the chocolate is completely melted.
Remove the pan from the heat and add the powdered sugar, nuts and vanilla. Stir until the mixture is completely smooth and the sugar is completely combined.
Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until the candy is set. Once the fudge has set up, cut into desired pieces. This is a great quick and easy gift.
