Melt the chocolate and the condensed milk with the salt together over medium/low heat in a medium saucepan for about 5-10 minutes until smooth.
Stir in the vanilla and walnuts, then pour the fudge mixture into an 8x8 pan that's either greased or lined with parchment paper.
Let the fudge chill for 2 hours, slice, and then serve or store at room temperature.

Ingredient Modifications and Variations

Make it dairy-free - use a dairy free sweetened condensed milk (THIS one is great!) in place of the regular sweetened condensed milk.
Make it nut-free - simply omit the walnuts if you prefer/need a nut-free fudge.
Use a different nut - if you don’t love walnuts, but you like the idea of a crunchy, nutty addition to your fudge, swap them for pecans, pistachios, or even peanuts!
Add mix-ins - forgo the nuts and add in another mix-in! Crushed cookies, chopped candy, and mini marshmallows would all be really delicious options.
Add sprinkles - before your fudge sets, add some sprinkles on top for a nice festive touch! We love THESE sprinkles!
Add some nut butter - swirl some nut butter on top of the fudge before it fully sets. Peanut butter would be delightful here! To do so, use a teaspoon to add 12-16 dollops of nut butter on top and drag a toothpick or knife through the peanut butter from top to bottom and side to side in a continuous motion to make the swirls.
