Golden Nugget Fudge

3 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups milk
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
1/2 cup Marshmallow Cr?me
1/3 cup chopped walnuts

Butter sides of a 3-quart saucepan. Mix sugar, milk and salt in saucepan. Stir and heat until sugar dissolves and mixture boils. Cook, without stirring, to soft-ball stage (238 degrees F).

Stir in butter and vanilla extract. Place in pan of cold water and cool to lukewarm without stirring.

Add apricots and beat until mixture holds shape (about 15 minutes). Stir in Marshmallow Cr?me and walnuts; beat until candy loses its gloss (about 5 minutes).

Spread fudge in buttered 9-inch square pan; refrigerate. When fudge sets, cut into bars. Fudge will be soft and creamy!
