Ingredients:

- 1 cup butter
- 1/4 cup margarine
Instructions:
-
Combine Ingredients: In a glass mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients except for the nuts.
-
Microwave: Microwave the mixture on medium (50%) power for 5 minutes, stirring at 1 1/2 minute intervals to ensure even heating and to prevent burning.
-
Add Nuts: If desired, add chopped nuts to the mixture. This step is optional and can be skipped if you prefer your fudge without nuts.
-
Prepare Pan: Prepare an 8-inch square dish by lining it with plastic wrap or waxed paper. Ensure that the wrap or paper is greased to prevent the fudge from sticking.
-
Pour Mixture: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
-
Chill: Cover the dish and place it in the refrigerator to chill for several hours or overnight. Chilling helps the fudge set and allows for easy cutting into pieces.
-
Cut and Serve: Once chilled, remove the fudge from the dish and cut it into pieces of your desired size.
-
Storage: Store the fudge in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness. Serve at room temperature for the best taste and texture.
