Prepare a 6-inch square or rectangle pan with a parchment paper. (To stabilize the parchment paper first grease the pan or the bowl and then stick the paper so that it stays in place when you shape the fudge).
In a food processor combine dates, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, salt and melted chocolate chips and blend it for 1-2 minutes or until there are no date pieces visible.
Spoon it out in a mixing bowl and fold in chopped walnuts.
In the prepared pan spoon out the fudge dough and shape it nicely with fingers pressing gently from all sides. Make sure they bind tight.
Place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Take it out and gently pull out the parchment paper and place it on a flat working surface. Slice with a clean sharp knife and enjoy!

This walnut fudge can be stored in an air tight container in the refrigerator for about 1 month.
Make sure to soak dates until they are soft and mushy.
Melt the chocolate chips when ready to blend.
Measure chocolate chips to 1 cup before melting.
How to melt chocolate chips: combine chocolate chips in the microwavable bowl and place it in the microwave for about 1 minute high. Take it out and stir with a spoon. It should start melting at the bottom. Place it back in the microwave and microwave it at high for 30 seconds. Take it out and stir again. It should almost start melting at this point. Microwave again for another 20 minutes. Take it and stir it vigorously and it will have the melted consistency.
As soon as the blending of the dough is done spoon it out quickly. At this point the fudge should be soft and on warmer side. Do not let it cool completely before shaping.
This recipe serves 9-12 depending on your pan and the serving size is 1 slice per person.
