The tricks to scratch fudge:
1) use a big heavy pot, like a pressure cooker without the lid
2) have a timer or a watch with a sweep-second-hand handy so you can time exactly 5 minutes from when it boils hard
3) stir non-stop for the 5 minutes
4) take off the heat and stir in marshmallows (or fluff), chocolate and walnuts, one after the other, as soon as the previous addition is melted and mixed in
But the condensed milk people have done all that for you! We just needed Greg to figure out to put butter and dark chocolate in it. Condensed milk has its own unique flavor, which is not what you want in your fudge...
