Directions

Combine 4 cups sugar and cream in a heavy 4-quart saucepan. Set aside.

Melt 2 cups sugar in a heavy 10-inch skillet over medium heat.

Stir sugar constantly until it begins to melt. Heat sugar-cream mixture over medium heat.

Continue melting sugar in skillet, stirring and watching closely so it does not scorch.

As soon as it is completely melted, pour liquid sugar in a thin stream into boiling sugar-cream mixture, stirring constantly.

Do not let sugar remain over heat after completely melted; this will produced a scorched taste.

Cook combined mixtures to 246F. Remove from heat and add baking soda and butter.

Stir in and let candy stand for 30 minutes.

Add nuts.

Stir to mix; pour into buttered 9-inch square pans. Cool slightly and cut into squares.

Makes about 78 pieces.

Thanks for your comment for pointing out the problem, I just deleted the "pieces" in the serving part, which caused the incorrect calculation of nutrition fact, so 164 calories per fudge.
