WONDERFUL fudge! What a wonderful marriage of flavors! I did add an extra teaspoon of freshly grated zest, left out the nuts and used milk chocolate chips rather than the semi sweet. Made it for a dinner party, and it was a HUGE hit! I would recommend refrigerating over night or at least eight hours. I did mine for four and they were still slightly gooey. But still scrumptious! And the flavor of the orage did seem to come out more the next day. I don't know why. But Yummy!

Just a very easy yet excellent fudge to make. I used the pepermint extract (about a teaspoon) and it was great. Love easy and good stuff like this. Thanks for the post.

I made this without the nuts too... Wonderful ! Smooth, and deceptive... it sets very solid, so I was a bit worried, but cuts easily with a decent amount of pressure (I didn't break my hand doing it) and it was still melt in your mouth soft once you took a piece or ..um... 4 !!! Our family aren't fans of orange peel so I used two teaspoons of orange essence... could have been a bit stronger for our taste at least 'cos the orange was only a vague after-taste of orange instead of a more predominant flavour (which DH really likes) I'm itching to make this with the peppermint in it and might even try a mix with some Tia Maria one time or Bailies ?... this will be my recipe of choice when DD's school asks for bake sale things for fundraising since it's just embarrasingly easy and fast to make and you just know that kids will leave telling you that they need something until the evening before... Now, no stress, I will have this recipe on hand to whip up and save the day Please see my rating system, an excellently deserved 5 stars! Thanks ! UPDATE: I've made this 4 times recently and I added 3 Tablespoons of peppermint essence to get the strength that's perfect for us. Mint is the prefered flavour here so far... this stuff practically walks off the plate when you have guests, so I'll be making this often in the future. Thanks !

My fudge of choice. I have made this recipe dozens of times over the past ten years. Everyone is correct that it disappears. I bring the ingredients to work and and make in my microwave I have there. It amazes everyone to see it made. For gifts I cut it into squares and roll those into truffle balls then roll in or sprinkle with cocoa powder. It makes a very elegant gift that way. I use 3 - 4 drops of Orange Oil by Nature's Flavors when I am making orange fudge, but Nature's Flavors has so many wonderful oil concentrates the possibilities are endless. Please try this fudge. You'll never make another.
