I love fudge, but sometimes I just don't want all that chocolate....don't tell anyone I said that!!!! This is a great fudge, minus the chocolate. I found this recipe in TOH and did a make over on it to suit my taste. The original recipe calls for pecans, but we prefer walnuts in our fudge.

CREAMY RICH WALNUT FUDGE



Creamy Rich Walnut Fudge image

Usually when you cook sugar to the softball stage you want it to stay nice and pliable and clear. But in the case of fudge you actually want to cook it to softball for the chewy-ness, and then agitate it by mixing, which starts re-inverting it back to crystalline form. It should be in very tiny crystals.
