Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring constantly. Allow it to boil for exactly 5 minutes without stopping the stirring process to prevent burning.

Once the 5 minutes are up, remove the saucepan from the heat. Add in the milk chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring until fully melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.

Next, stir in the vanilla extract and the chopped walnuts if using, mixing thoroughly to ensure even distribution.

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
