Fudge

Thanksgiving is over so the Christmas baking needing a quick-start. I decided to do a quick batch of fudge tonight. This is of the 'never-fail' variety and so simple it seems like cheating, at least until you read up on the 'could-fail' methodology.

1 lb chocolate chips (that's 2 2/3 cup for those of you with the costco sized bag)
1 can sweetened condensed milk (normal size, I don't think even costco messes with it)
1 Tbs vanilla
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
2 oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped into bits
1 cup chopped walnuts

1. Mix soda, salt and chocolate well. Add milk, vanilla
2 Heat over a double boiler until just melted. Remove from heat and add walnuts
3. pour into an 8"x8" pan lined with tin foil and greased (spray oil is fine, no need to drag out the crisco)
4. cool for 2 hours
5. resist the temptation to eat now instead of saving for Christmas gifts.
