# Instructions:
01 -
Line a 9-inch square pan with foil or parchment, leaving overhang on two sides. Lightly butter the lining so the fudge releases cleanly.

Add sugar, butter, evaporated milk, and salt to a heavy 3-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches a full rolling boil.
03 -
Continue boiling and stirring for about 4 minutes, or until a candy thermometer reaches 234°F. The bubbles should stay active across the surface.
04 -
Remove the pan from the heat. Add the semisweet chocolate and stir until fully melted and glossy.
05 -
Stir in the marshmallow creme, walnuts, and vanilla until the mixture is even and thick. Work quickly before it starts to set.

Spread the fudge into the prepared pan. Cool completely at room temperature for at least 2 hours, then lift out and cut into 1-inch squares.
