Instructions
- Begin by melting the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring gently until fully liquefied.

- Add ground cinnamon to the second half, mixing thoroughly to incorporate the spice.
- In a greased 9×9-inch pan, pour the plain fudge, spreading it evenly.
- Top this layer with the cinnamon mixture, creating swirls using a knife.
- If desired, sprinkle walnuts or pecans on top for extra texture and flavor.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm. Once set, cut into squares and enjoy!
