CHOCOLATE FUDGE WITH WALNUTS

Dark chocolate fudge with the crunch of walnuts.

Ingredients
1 16 oz bag of dark chocolate chips (60% cocoa)
8 oz of a good quality of heavy cream
1/2- 1 cup walnuts

Directions
Prepare an 8 inch square baking dish by lining it with alumninum foil. Place the chocolate chips in a heat proof glass bowl. Set the bowl on a pot holder so as not to scorch the counter. Put the heavy cream in a pot over low heat...watching carefully. When little bubbles begin to form around the cream, just short of a full boil, remove cream from stove. Immediately pour over the chocolate chips. Let this set a minute or two and then with a wire whisk slowly begin to stir the mixture. It will go from thin to a very creamy mixture. Add a large handful of whole walnuts. Stir to combine. Pour into prepared dish. Let sit a few minutes and then place in fridge. This takes a couple of hours to set up but is delicious with all the texture and taste of fudge without all the butter and sugar that is usually needed for most fudges. Once the fudge has set up, lift the fudge out by using the foil and turn upside down. Remove foil. Cut into pieces and store in the fridge.
