When I think of Christmas, one of the smells I always think of is the smell of oranges. Santa always left an orange in the toe of our stocking! Since oranges remind me so much of Christmas I had to do an orange dream fudge for fudge week.
This is a cooked version, but an easy version for the cooked variety. No need for a candy thermometer on this one. This fudge also has a fun look, you leave part of the mixture white and swirl it into the orange.
