1. Melt the butter and sugar ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿณ: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter ๐Ÿงˆ over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the light brown sugar ๐Ÿฌ and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to bubble and turn a deep golden brown. This should take about 5 minutes.

2. Add the milk ๐Ÿฅ›: Slowly pour in the milk while stirring, and bring the mixture back to a gentle boil. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes to ensure the caramel-like base is smooth and blended perfectly. Your kitchen will be filled with the irresistible aroma of caramel! ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ”ฅ

3. Cool slightly โณ: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for about 10 minutes. This will help the mixture thicken slightly before you add the powdered sugar.

4. Beat in powdered sugar ๐Ÿš: Gradually add the powdered sugar ๐Ÿš to the mixture, beating with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. The fudge should become thick, glossy, and deliciously rich.

5. Add vanilla and nuts ๐ŸŒฐ: Stir in the vanilla extract ๐Ÿฆ and, if desired, the chopped walnuts ๐ŸŒฐ for a bit of crunch. The nuts will add a delightful texture contrast to the smooth fudge.

6. Pour and set ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ: Pour the fudge into a greased 8ร—8-inch pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for at least 1-2 hours, or until it sets completely.

7. Cut and enjoy ๐Ÿซ: Once set, cut the fudge into small squares and serve! Each bite will melt in your mouth with a rich caramel flavor and a hint of crunch from the walnuts. ๐Ÿฌโค๏ธ
