My love affair with Maple Nut Fudge

Tis the time of year to commence the frenzy of holiday cooking and baking. If you knew me you wouldn't believe how far behind I am on all my baking. There just hasn't been enough free time this year to get it all done.

As if I didn't feel the pressure of getting it all done enough already, I decided to try a new recipe. Yep call me crazy!! Oh my word was this recipe ever good!! I just had to share it with all of you. All the credit goes to Ms. Bakinbaby over at recipezaar.com!


May your christmas be the best one yet!

1 (12 ounce) package white chocolate chips
1/2 cup walnuts(chopped)
1 TBSP maple extract
walnuts (halves )

Directions
Line 9x13 pan with foil. (I just sprayed with Pam)
Combine butter, evaporated milk, sugars & salt in a medium heavy-duty saucepan.
Bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly, over medium heat, cook for 8-9 minutes, remove from heat.
Stir in marshmallows, chips, nuts and maple flavoring, stir vigorously for 1 minute or until marshmallows are melted.
