Friendly fudge

This is basically the recipe for "Friendship Fudge" from the PDN, but I exchanged the vanilla for Tuaca.

3 cups (18oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips (I used 2/3 semi-sweet, 1/3 milk chocolate)
1 (14oz) can sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk)
dash salt
1/2 to 1 cup chopped nuts (optional) -- I used pecans
1.5 tsp vanilla (or Tuaca, or mint extract, or??)

In heavy saucepan, over low heat, melt chcolate chips with sweetened condensed milk and salt. Remove from heat; stir in nuts and vanilla. Spread evenly onto wax paper-lined 8 or 9 inch square pan.

Chill two hours or until firm. Turn fudge onto cutting board; peel off paper and cut into squares. Store leftovers covered in the fridge. (I stored them in the fridge for a day, then took them out and they are still fine two days later)

Note: This is "cheater's fudge" to me, because it is not really cooked. It got rave reviews from my husband and friends, but it is not my dad's fudge. Which is, of course, the standard by which all other fudge is judged.
