ORANGE CREAMSICLE FUDGE
Marbled orange and white fudge that tastes just like a creamsicle. I have revised this recipe over the years and this is my latest version -- it's less sweet than the original. When you dump it in the bowl, it might look as if you've failed, however, it smooth up as it sets.

CHOCOLATE ORANGE FUDGE
This is so easy and yet it is probably the best fudge I've ever had. I usually omit the pecans. My niece used this recipe, substituting 3-4 drops peppermint extract for the orange zest, and earned a blue ribbon at the county fair. Even my 12-16 year old 4H girls had no problems making it. Note: make sure you use fresh orange zest. Dried will make the fudge bitter. Also make sure you don't get any of the bitter white part of the rind when you are zesting your orange.

ORANGE WHITE CHOCOLATE FUDGE
I found this recipe through Pinterest. This fudge tastes very similar to a frozen orange creamsicle! I know the instructions look insane, but it is actually quick and easy to make and does not require a candy thermometer. It is great for gift giving, and one of my new favorites!

Steps:
- Prepare an 8x8 pan by lining it with foil and spraying the foil with a light coating of nonstick spray.
- Slice the butter into small slices (so it melts faster), and put the chips, milk, and butter in the top of a double boiler, and set it to medium heat.
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can put a small amount of water in a pot, and place a bowl (I use a glass bowl) on top of the pot (but don't let the water touch the bottom of the bowl as the water boils).
- Slowly let the mixture melt and combine, stirring occasionally. It takes a little time and a little patience, especially if you REALLY love fudge!
- Once all the chips are melted, pour ONLY HALF of the mixture into the prepared pan.
- Working fairly quickly, so the bottom half that you just poured out doesn't set, go ahead and add the extract and food coloring to the remaining fudge mixture that is left in the double boiler.
- Stir well to make sure food colorings and extract are combined, and pour on top of white mixture in prepared pan.
- Shake the pan a little if you need to, to make sure the fudge is all the way to the edges, then take a knife and slowly swirl it through the fudge to make -- you guessed it - a swirly design! (Do this slowly, if you go too fast, you'll get air bubbles in your fudge.).
- Let set on the counter, if the kitchen is cool enough, and transfer to fridge to fully harden. Because of the butter content, it will become quite soft at room temperature. To lessen this, the amount of butter can be reduced (or even eliminated, I'm told, though I've never eliminated it myself).

ORANGE CREAM FUDGE RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:
- Using the 1 1/2 tablespoons, butter a 9 x 13-inch pan. Linda Spence recommends using a basic cookie sheet, with raised sides, instead of a 13X9-inch pan. The fudge is fairly thick in the 9X13-inch pan and difficult to cut. Tiny pieces like she served at the Guild meeting should suffice! In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, cream and butter. On medium heat, bring to a boil, stirring often. Cook for about 4 minutes to soft ball stage, 234°F (112°C). Remove from heat and stir in marshmallow creme and white chocolate chips; mix well until the chips melt. Reserve 1 cup of mixture and set aside. To the remaining mixture add orange flavoring, yellow and red food coloring. Stir well and pour into prepared pan. Pour reserved cream mixture on top. Using a knife, swirl layers for decorative effect. Chill for 2 hours, or until firm, and cut into squares.

ORANGE CORDIAL FUDGE BALLS
A nice gift for special occasions. I'm guessing at the number of fudge balls it yields; the truth is I'm probably somewhat inconsistent in the exact size I make the fudge balls because sometimes the recipe yields more than at other times. I've never melted the chocolate in the microwave instead of a double boiler but I suppose it's possible.

Tips:
- Use fresh oranges: Fresh oranges provide the best flavor for the fudge. If you can, use organic oranges to avoid any pesticides or chemicals.
- Zest the oranges finely: Finely zesting the oranges will help to release the oils and flavors into the fudge.
- Cook the fudge to the right temperature: The fudge is done when it reaches a temperature of 235 degrees Fahrenheit (113 degrees Celsius). If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the fudge by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the fudge forms a soft ball, it is done.
- Let the fudge cool completely before cutting: The fudge needs to cool completely before you can cut it. This will help to prevent the fudge from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Orange fudge is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a creamy, flavorful fudge that is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this orange fudge recipe a try.
