ORANGE WHITE CHOCOLATE FUDGE

Steps:

• Prepare an 8x8 pan by lining it with foil and spraying the foil with a light coating of nonstick spray.
• Slice the butter into small slices (so it melts faster), and put the chips, milk, and butter in the top of a double boiler, and set it to medium heat.
• If you don't have a double boiler, you can put a small amount of water in a pot, and place a bowl (I use a glass bowl) on top of the pot (but don't let the water touch the bottom of the bowl as the water boils).
• Slowly let the mixture melt and combine, stirring occasionally. It takes a little time and a little patience, especially if you REALLY love fudge!
• Once all the chips are melted, pour ONLY HALF of the mixture into the prepared pan.
• Working fairly quickly, so the bottom half that you just poured out doesn't set, go ahead and add the extract and food coloring to the remaining fudge mixture that is left in the double boiler.
• Stir well to make sure food colorings and extract are combined, and pour on top of white mixture in prepared pan.
• Shake the pan a little if you need to, to make sure the fudge is all the way to the edges, then take a knife and slowly swirl it through the fudge to make -- you guessed it - a swirly design! (Do this slowly, if you go too fast, you'll get air bubbles in your fudge.).
• Let set on the counter, if the kitchen is cool enough, and transfer to fridge to fully harden. Because of the butter content, it will become quite soft at room temperature. To lessen this, the amount of butter can be reduced (or even eliminated, I'm told, though I've never eliminated it myself).

CREAMSICLE FUDGE

Steps:

• 1. Prepare a 13x9 pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
• 2. 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.
• 3. Bring the mixture to a boil, and once it starts boiling, stir continuously for four minutes.
• 4. 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.
• 5. 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.
• 6. 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.
• 7. 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.
