I love this fudge. It's a change from chocolate and one of my favorites. Quick and easy. It is pretty sweet so a little goes a long way.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

What a great alternative to traditional chocolate fudge! Smooth, creamy, nutty and... well, just plain good. It's full of vanilla flavor. Walnuts add the perfect texture and crunch to this smooth fudge. A quick and easy fudge recipe.
