Orange Dream Fudge

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.
