Toll House Famous Fudge

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pan:
   • Line an 8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Leave a bit of an overhang to make it easier to lift the fudge out later.
2. Cook the Mixture:
   • In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, and evaporated milk. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the butter is melted.
   • Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Once it reaches a rolling boil, let it cook for 4-5 minutes without stirring. Be cautious not to let it burn.
3. Add the Chocolate:
   • Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the chocolate morsels until they are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
4. Finish and Chill:
   • Stir in the vanilla extract and, if using, the chopped nuts.
   • Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
5. Cool and Set:
   • Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until it is set. For quicker setting, you can place it in the refrigerator.
6. Cut and Serve:
   • Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the foil or parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve.
