How to Make Sour Cream Fudge

In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup sour cream.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (235°F on a candy thermometer). This will take approximately 15-20 minutes. Be patient and keep stirring!
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely in the saucepan to room temperature. This prevents the fudge from setting too quickly and helps achieve a smoother texture.
Once cooled, stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (or your favorite nuts!). Beat with a hand mixer or wooden spoon until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy.
Immediately pour the fudge into a buttered 8x8 inch baking dish. Do not spread; the glossy top will self-level as it cools.
Let the fudge cool and set completely at room temperature, at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
Once set, cut into 24 squares and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
