 * 2) Cook on medium heat for 11 minutes, stirring constantly.
 * 3) Add marshmallows, chocolate chips, walnuts to fudge and mix well.
 * 4) Pour into a buttered pan and let cool.
 * 5) Cut into squares when it cuts without melting back together but before it becomes crumbly.

Notes, tips, and variations

 * Substituting margarine for butter makes the fudge oily. Imitation vanilla affects the aroma.
 * Other varieties of chips (vanilla, butterscotch, etc.) work as well.
