Provided by á-7590

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

1 bag white chips
1 can white frosting (NOT whipped)
Crush Orange Ice Cream topping

Steps:

Melt frosting in a saucepan over low heat (so to not burn it) until frosting is glossy Add chips and continue cooking over low heat stirring until chips are melted and blended well with frosting. Pour contents out into a greased 8" x 8" pan (or parchment paper lined pan). Drizzle Orange Crush Ice Cream topping over top and if desired, swirl topping through fudge with a fork or toothpick. Cool in refrigerator until set.

Tips:

To ensure the fudge sets properly, use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature of the mixture. The ideal temperature for setting fudge is between 234°F (112°C) and 238°F (114°C).
To achieve a smooth and creamy texture, stir the fudge mixture continuously as it cooks. This will prevent sugar crystals from forming and resulting in a grainy texture.
If you prefer a chewier fudge, allow it to cool for a shorter period before cutting it into pieces. For a softer fudge, let it cool completely before cutting.
To add a variety of flavors and textures to your fudge, consider incorporating nuts, dried fruits, or citrus zest. You can also drizzle melted chocolate or caramel over the fudge for an extra touch of decadence.
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. For longer storage, place it in the refrigerator for up to three months or freeze it for up to six months.
