Condensed milk gives this fudge extra richness.

125g butter, cubed. 1 tsp vanilla, ½-1 cup chopped walnuts(optional)
Combine first five ingredients in a high-heat resistant microwave (12 cup capacity) bowl or large saucepan. Microwave on high, stirring every 2 minutes or cook over moderate
heat, stirring continuously, until either mixture forms a soft ball, for about 15 minutes.
Remove from microwave oven or stovetop. Add vanilla and~wa1nuts and beat for 4-5 minutes until mixture starts to thicken. Pour quickly into 20cm pan lined with a strip ofbaking paper. Leave until firm. Tip from pan then cut into squares.

Hi I made a condensed milk fudge a few months ago but was not very impressed, I prefer my fudge firmer and more crumbly.

I have had best luck making this microwave fudge which uses icing sugar- it always always sets! You might need to play with the time depending on your microwave
