Line an 8 x 8 x 1 1/2-inch square pan with aluminum foil, allowing the foil to hang over the edges of the pan. Grease the pan with 1 teaspoon of butter.

Add vanilla and beat with mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add nuts, if desired.
Pour into prepared baking pan. When firm, remove fudge from pan, peel away foil and cut into squares.
