1-cup icing sugar
1-t vanilla
Directions
Base:
Cream margarine and brown sugar.

Add the flour, baking powder, salt and walnuts, and mix well.
Place in a greased 9x9 pan and bake at preheated 350F for 20-25 minutes.
Cool.

Mix butter, sugar and milk.
Let boil 3-4 minutes over moderate heat.
Briefly cool, then add icing sugar and vanilla, and stir smooth.
Place over base, and cut when firm.
Notes:
This recipe cannot be doubled.
If the fudge is too cool, it will be too hard to spread. I like to use an 8x8 and make thicker squares.
