Easy Chocolate Fudge

1 jar marshmallow creme
1 ½ cups sugar
2/3 cup evaporated milk
¼ cup (½ stick) butter
¼ teaspoon salt
1 11–½- ounce bag milk chocolate chips
1 6-ounce bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup chopped nuts (I usually use walnuts)
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix the first five ingredients in a large saucepan and place on the stove over moderate heat.  Bring the mixture to a full boil and stir constantly while still boiling for 5 minutes.  Remove the pan from the heat and add the chocolate chips, stirring until melted and well blended. Then, stir in the nuts and vanilla.

Pour the mixture into a greased 9-by-12-inch pan and chill in the refrigerator.  Once the fudge is cold, it’s easy to cut and remove with a knife.

Note: Make sure the mixture comes to a full rolling boil and let it stay there while you stir for 5 minutes. Otherwise, the mixture can seize up when you add the chocolate. Instead of having nice smooth fudge, it can end up crumbly or with an oily surface.

Please note, you really need to let this come to a full rolling boil and let it stay there while stirring for 5 minutes. If you don't it can seize up when you add the chocolate and instead of nice smoooth fudge you can end up with crumbles, or an oily surface.
