Christmas Fudge

Ingredients

• 2 lbs ambrosia milk chocolate (*See note)
• 1/2 pint whipping cream
• 1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1. 1

   Slowly melt chocolate in a double boiler; simmer over low heat.

2. 2

   When the chocolate has completely melted, whip the whipping cream on the highest speed of your hand-held mixer, (for about 3 minutes) or until it has thickened.

3. 3

   Stir the whipped cream into the melted chocolate, until it has completely dissolved (continuously stirring for about 3 minutes). The fudge will become dark in color and glossy.

4. 4

   Stir in the chopped walnuts, then pour into a buttered 13x9x2-inch pan.

5. 5

   Refrigerate until slightly firm.

6. 6

   With a buttered knife, cut into 48 square pieces.

7. 7

   Refrigerate again, until fudge has firmed up completely.

8. 8

   *Note: Ambrosia Real Milk Chocolate is a good quality brand of chocolate that I use to make this fudge.

9. 9

   Also, one other thing I wanted to mention. When I made this fudge, I stated to use a double boiler, but since I don't own a double boiler, I actually used an oversized waterless cookware pot (to heat/simmer the water in). I melted the chocolate in a large size aluminum bowl (which I placed that over the large pot of simmering 'hot' water). You can place this fudge in the freezer, as it does freeze well.
