One of my Favorite Treats (Orange Dreamsicle Fudge)

Hey everyone! Today I was off so I had a lot of time to devote to Pinterest! I have a lot of dessert recipes saved so I thought I would find something good to make. I decided on Orange Creamsicle Fudge!

I have always loved fudge, but I especially love Orange Creamsicle! I have talked before about how I am NOT a cook. Well I decided that since Pinterest is slowly going to change that anyways, I am going to make the things that I like.  So here is the instructions and pictures for making Orange Creamsicle Fudge.

Ingredients:

• 6 -ounces (1.5 sticks) butter
• 2- cups granulated sugar
• 3/4- cup heavy cream
• 1- package (12 oz) white chocolate chips
• 1- jar (7 oz) marshmallow cream (or fluff)
• 1- tablespoon orange extract
• orange (or a combination of red and yellow) food coloring

Instructions:

Prepare a 13x9 pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, cream, and butter over medium heat.

Continually stir the mixture until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves.

• Brush down the sides with a wet pastry brush.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, and once it starts boiling, stir continuously for four minutes.

• After four minutes of boiling, remove the pan from the heat and immediately stir in the marshmallow cream and white chocolate chips.
• Stir until the white chocolate has melted and the fudge is completely smooth.

• Working quickly, pour about a third of the white fudge into a bowl and set aside.
• To the remaining fudge, add the orange extract and orange food coloring, stirring until it is a smooth, even color. It is important to perform these steps quickly, because the fudge will start to set if you take too long, and the end result will not be smooth.

Pour the orange fudge into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer.

Drop the white fudge over the top by the spoonful, then drag a table knife or toothpick through the fudge to create orange-white swirls. You can spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray and gently press them into the top to smooth out the swirls, if desired.

• Allow the fudge to set at room temperature for 2 hours, or in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• To cut, pull the fudge out of the pan using the foil as handles.
• Use a large sharp knife to cut the fudge into small 1-inch squares. Store Orange Creamsicle Fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, and bring it to room temperature to serve.

From how it looks and how the little bit of fudge that was left in the bowl tastes, I am going to be very happy with how this turns out!

I just realized that I didn't do the instructions right. I poured the white into the orange instead of dropping it in by spoonfuls. I am sure it won't make that big of a difference though! 

Edit: So even though my fudge tastes AMAZING, for some reason it didn't turn solid. It is a little gooey, but since I am the only one eating it, I just eat it off a spoon and it works just fine. I don't know what I did wrong, but I know that fudge is really hard to make anyways. All that matters is that it tastes good!
