CHOCOLATE ORANGE FUDGE



Chocolate Orange Fudge image

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.

Categories     Candy

Time 10m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
2 teaspoons orange zest (see notes above)

Steps:

  • Line a 8x8x2-inch baking pan with lightly buttered waxed paper or aluminum foil.
  • Set aside.
  • Melt chocolate chips with condensed milk in the top of a double boiler or in a bowl in the microwave.
  • Stir until smooth.
  • Remove from heat and stir in pecans and grated orange peel.
  • Spread in prepared dish and chill until firm.
  • Carefully remove fudge from pan using the edges of the foil.
  • Cut into squares.
  • Store covered in refrigerator.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best consistency for your fudge, make sure you cook it to the correct temperature. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature of the mixture, and remove it from heat once it reaches 235°F (113°C).
  • To ensure a smooth texture, stir the fudge constantly while it is cooking. This will prevent the sugar crystals from forming and give you a creamy, velvety fudge.
  • For a richer flavor, use high-quality ingredients. Look for good-quality chocolate, fresh orange juice, and fennel seeds. These ingredients will make a big difference in the overall taste of your fudge.
  • If you want a fudge with a softer texture, add a little bit of corn syrup to the mixture. Corn syrup helps to prevent crystallization and gives the fudge a chewier texture.
  • To prevent the fudge from sticking to the pan, grease the pan with butter or line it with parchment paper before pouring in the fudge mixture.
  • Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it into pieces. This will help it to set properly and prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

With its vibrant orange color, delightful citrus flavor, and subtle hint of fennel, this orange and fennel fudge is a unique and delicious treat that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are enjoying it on its own, using it as a topping for desserts, or giving it as a gift, this fudge is sure to impress. So next time you are looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give this orange and fennel fudge a try.
