Easy as Fudge

I had plans to visit with a sick friend this afternoon.  She's dealing with a pretty serious illness and has spent the last six months either at the doctor or on her couch.  I like to check in every two weeks by spending a little time at her house.  It allows me to catch up on her treatment plan and do what I can to lift her spirits a bit.

Whenever I stop in I like to bring a small treat.  So far I've made crab soup, apple tarts, spaghetti pie and chocolate chip cookies.  Today I decided to try something new- fudge.  I've never made fudge, but once I finished with the quick recipe using sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips and walnuts I understood where the phrase "easy as fudge" comes from.
