Caramel Cream Fudge

Place all ingredients in a heavy pan. Cook quickly stirring them constantly until they boil. Cover and cook 2 to 3 minutes.

Remove the lid, reduce heat and cook until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (234 degrees F).

Place butter in bottom of a mixing bowl, or your mixer bowl if you are using an electric mixer. Remove pan from heat and at once pour mixture over butter. Do not stir.

When cool, add vanilla and beat until creamy. Just as the mixture loses its gloss, stir in walnuts. Pour onto an oiled marble slab.

Cut into squares when set. Store tightly covered.
