    Combine sugar, salt, corn syrup, and boiling water in a 2-quart saucepan. Cover and bring to a rolling boil.

    For layered Fudge Squares, pat and roll fondant into an 8-inch square between two pieces of waxed
    paper. Set aside.

    NOTE: To store fondant, wrap in waxed paper and place in a tightly covered jar. Keep in refrigerator.

    FUDGE LAYER

    In the top of a double boiler, melt milk chocolate or sweet coating over hot, not boiling, water. Heat
    cream, half and half, and vanilla to scalding. Remove from heat and cool to about 130 degrees F. Do not
    allow temperature to drop below 125 degrees F. Add warm cream mixture to melted chocolate all at once
    and beat until smooth and well blended. Remove from from hot water and let cool until pliable. Beat with
    an electric mixer until candy is light and fluffy.

    Spread half in an 8-inch square pan which has been lined with lightweight foil. Place the fondant square
    over the fudge. Spread the remaining fudge over the fondant. Sprinkle with nuts, and press the nuts into
    the fudge. Cut into squares when firm, and wrap in waxed paper.
