Recipe Tip!
How to toast walnuts: Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the walnuts to the hot, dry pan in a single layer. Cook, watching constantly and stirring frequently until the walnuts start to brown and smell toasted—about 5 minutes.
Transfer the walnuts to a plate or cutting board where they can stay in a single layer to help them cool evenly.
Note about the nuts:
It’s okay to substitute pecans or almonds for the walnuts, if you’d like. Or you can leave out the nuts entirely.
How to store fudge:
To store fudge, place it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. If you need to store it longer, refrigerate it for up to 3 weeks. For even longer storage, freeze it for up to 3 months. Be sure to wrap the fudge in wax paper or plastic wrap before placing it in the container to prevent sticking.
