Classic Chocolate Walnut Fudge

Like my Cookies 'n Cream fudge, this fudge also is based off of the Guittard Choc-Au-Lait Vanilla Milk Chips bag, only I've switched a few things up to make a milk chocolate fudge instead of a creamy vanilla fudge. I've found the recipe is fairly versatile, and you could probably make any kind of fudge you desire using it. I plan to do a rocky road type fudge, and a turtle fudge, and whatever else I can think of that sounds delicious sometime in the future. Anyway, enjoy!
