Line a 8×8 casserole dish with parchment paper.
In a large microwave-safe bowl place the chocolate chips.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the chocolate chips but do not mix.
Add the butter cubes on top of the milk/chips.
Microwave on high power for about 90 seconds total (depending on the power of the microwave), stirring every 30 seconds until the butter has almost completely melted.
Immediately remove from microwave and stir until well combined.
Stir in vanilla and nuts.
Immediately pour into the prepared dish and spread to your desired thickness.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
Cut and serve.

Storage:

To Store: Store chocolate walnut fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.
To Freeze: You can store your fudge wrapped tightly and placed in a freezer-safe bag or container in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Tips:

Be sure that you use sweetened condensed milk and not evaporated milk. The fudge will not thicken up with evaporated milk.
Be careful not to overcook your fudge or it will become grainy.
I like to line my pan with foil or parchment paper so I can lift out the fudge and cut it on a cutting board instead of in the pan.
To cut your fudge, it’s best to use a large chef knife. You can warm the knife by running it under warm water, then dry it off with a towel before slicing.
Use your hands to press the fudge into the pan so it is flat and even on top.
