Directions

  1. Grease a loaf pan and a deep 3-quart microwave-safe casserole dish with the 2 tablespoons butter.

  2. Combine sugar, milk, chocolate, syrup and salt in the casserole dish. Cover dish with plastic wrap.

  3. Heat sugar mixture in the microwave oven on High for 5 minutes, stir well. Remove plastic and continue to cook in the microwave until the chocolate mixture reaches soft-ball stage, about 235 degrees (113 degrees F), 4 to 7 minutes. Stir again thoroughly and continue cooking on High for 6 to 7 minutes. Lie butter atop the chocolate mixture and set aside to let it melt as the chocolate mixture cools.

  4. Stir vanilla into the cooled chocolate mixture, beat continuously with a wooden spoon until the fudge is thick and starts to lose its shine. Fold nuts through the fudge, spread quickly into the prepared loaf pan.

  5. Let fudge sit until set, 30 to 40 minutes. Cut while still slightly warm.

Recipe Note

Made in the microwave. The name comes from an uncle who wouldn't eat this tasty treat back when microwave ovens were a relatively new household appliance;he was afraid of the radiation. My, how far we've come!
