1. To toast walnuts: Place walnuts on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated 300°F. oven for about 5 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid scorching. Watch closely, as the nuts may be golden one minute then turn dark brown the next. Set aside. 2. Line a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan with lightly buttered waxed paper or aluminum foil. Set aside. 3. In large (2-quart) saucepan combine sugar, evaporated milk and butter and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a full boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 minutes or until candy thermometer reaches 236°F/110°C, (a small amount dropped in cold water should form a soft ball that flattens when removed from water); remove from heat. 4. Add the chocolate chips, marshmallow creme, vanilla extract and toasted walnuts, stirring until chocolate chips are melted and ingredients are well-mixed. Immediately turn into prepared pan. 5. Allow fudge to set at room temperature until firm. Invert pan, peel off paper and cut into 1-inch squares. For more please see Premium Free Recipes
