Cheater Fudge
From Ruth Lovell

On Paula's party TV show, she told how to make "Cheater Fudge".
Take one package of chocolate morsels (the kind you like).  I used milk chocolate.  Take one package the same size of butterscotch morsels.
Mix together and microwave for 1 to 2 minutes.  Try stirring them after one minute etc and continue microwaving until they stir together.  Then add nuts.  Pour into a buttered pan and let sit until hard.
Couldn't be easier or better.  What a surprise that it was so easy to make.
CONDENSED VERSION:
Take one package each (same size) chocolate and butterscotch morsels and melt.  Add nuts and allow to set.
