How to Make Orange Fudge

  1. Heat 1 cup of milk in a double boiler until warm.
  2. In a deep, heavy saucepan, caramelize 1 cup of granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until a light amber color is achieved. (Be careful not to burn the sugar)
  3. Carefully pour in the warm milk and orange juice. Stir constantly to combine and prevent scorching.
  4. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and the grated orange rind.
  5. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (235-240°F on a candy thermometer).
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the margarine or butter until melted and fully incorporated.
  7. Let the mixture cool slightly, then add the chopped chocolate and stir until melted and smooth.
  8. Once the fudge has cooled to lukewarm, beat with an electric mixer until creamy and light. Stir in the chopped nuts.
  9. Pour the fudge into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish or platter.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm.
  11. Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
