If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts and vanilla extract, mixing well.

Once cooled, score the fudge into 36 squares using a sharp knife.

Refrigerate the fudge until completely firm, approximately 2 hours.

To remove the fudge, lift it out using the aluminum foil, then gently peel away the foil from the sides.
