Makes about 36 slices

This is the easiest and best fudge I've ever made. My mother and I "borrowed" the page from the magazine of a dentist office in 1972, and have made it every year since! Always gets rave reviews and people requesting the recipe!! Joy

1 (6-oz) pkg (1 cup) Nestles Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
1 (6-oz) pkg (1 cup) Nestles Butterscotch Morsels
1 can Borden Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk (not evaporated milk)
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup walnut halves

Melt chocolate and butterscotch morsels with sweetened condensed milk in top of double boiler over hot (not boiling) water. Stir occasionally until morsels melt and mixture begins to thicken. Remove from heat; add chopped walnuts and vanilla. Blend well. Chill for about 1 hour until mixture thickens.

Line bottom of 9-inch pie pan with a 12-inch square of foil. Place 3/4 cup walnut halves in bottom of pan, forming a 2-inch wide flat ring. Spoon chocolate mixture in small mounds on top of nuts to form ring. Decorate with remaining nuts. Add maraschino cherries if desired. Chill in refrigerator until firm enough to slice. Cut into 1/2 inch slices.
