Instructions

Prepare Pan: Line an 8-inch square baking dish with heavy-duty foil, leaving extra foil to overhang for easy lifting. Spray with nonstick spray.
Mix Ingredients: In a medium heatproof bowl, combine unsweetened and semisweet chocolates, salt, and baking soda. Stir in vanilla extract and sweetened condensed milk.
Melt Chocolate: Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a 4-quart saucepan. Place the heatproof bowl over the saucepan (double boiler method) and stir until chocolate melts completely and the mixture is smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
Add Walnuts: Remove from heat, stir in toasted walnuts, and pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread evenly.
Set & Cut: Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for 2-3 hours. Lift the fudge out using the foil overhang, slice into squares, and serve.

Notes

Storage: Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
Customizable: Swap walnuts for pecans or omit nuts entirely for a smooth texture.
Gifting: Wrap individual squares in wax paper for a perfect homemade gift.
