Coffee-Walnut Fudge(Microwave Recipe)

In 5-quart glass or glass-ceramic casserole, combine sugar, half and half, syrup and salt.

Cook on High 5 to 7 minutes until mixture comes to a full boil, stirring occasionally.

Set microwave-safe candy thermometer in place.

Continue to cook on High 7 to 10 minutes or until temperature reaches 240° or soft ball stage (when a small amount of mixture dropped into a bowl of cold water forms a soft ball that flattens on removal from water).
