| 4 | Carefully fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the fudge mixture. |
| 5 | Quickly spread the fudge into a greased 8-inch square pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula. |
| 6 | Before the fudge has completely cooled and set, use a sharp knife to cut it into squares of your desired size. |
| 7 | Once cooled completely, store the Vanilla Nut Fudge in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and texture. |
