How to Make Orange Fudge
- Heat 1 cup of milk in a double boiler until warm.
- 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)
- Carefully pour in the warm milk and orange juice. Stir constantly to combine and prevent scorching.
- Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and the grated orange rind.
- Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (235-240°F on a candy thermometer).
- Remove from heat and stir in the margarine or butter until melted and fully incorporated.
- Let the mixture cool slightly, then add the chopped chocolate and stir until melted and smooth.
- Once the fudge has cooled to lukewarm, beat with an electric mixer until creamy and light. Stir in the chopped nuts.
- Pour the fudge into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish or platter.
- Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm.
- Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
