Old Fashioned Fudge Made Simple

Add the chocolate chips and stir until they are melted and the mixture is smooth. Stir in the nuts (if using) and the vanilla extract.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature.
Once the fudge is cool, use the parchment paper to lift it out of the pan and transfer it to a cutting board. Cut the fudge into small squares. Enjoy!
