This easy-to-make recipe combines the smooth sweetness of white chocolate and sweetened condensed milk with the warm, aromatic notes of pure vanilla extract.

Whether for holiday gifting, dessert tables, or an irresistible homemade snack, Vanilla Walnut Fudge is sure to impress with its melt-in-your-mouth texture and harmonious blend of flavors.
Line an 8x8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper with butter or non-stick spray.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate chips, and unsalted butter.
Place the saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring continuously with a spatula until the white chocolate chips and butter have completely melted into a smooth, glossy mixture. Be careful not to let the mixture scorch or boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and chopped walnuts. Mix until evenly combined.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
Let the fudge cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator to set completely for at least 2 hours.
Once the fudge is firm, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift it out of the pan. Cut the fudge into 16 equal squares or your desired size.
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve and enjoy!
