I like milk to medium-dark chocolate best, but this White
Chocolate & Orange Macadamia Nut Fudge is really a taste treat. As with all candy and baking, use the best chocolate you can buy--inferior chocolate will produce inferior (and disappointing) results. Enjoy!
1 cup macadamia nuts (coarsely
chopped)
2 teaspoons finely shredded
orange peel
Directions:
1. Line an 8 x 8 x 2 inch
or 9x9x2 inch baking pan with foil, extending the foil over edges of pan.
2. Butter foil; set aside.
3. In a 2-quart saucepan,
combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk; cook and stir over
low heat just until chocolate
melts; remove from heat.
4. Stir in 1 chopped cup
nuts, orange peel, and vanilla.
5. Spread fudge evenly in
the prepared pan.
6. If desired, sprinkle
with additional nuts and press
them lightly into fudge.
7. Score fudge into squares
while warm.
8. Cover and chill about 2
hours or until fudge is firm.
9. When fudge is firm, use
the edges of the foil to lift it from pan; cut into 64 squares.
10. To store--layer fudge
between sheets of waxed paper in an airtight container; cover.
11. Store at room
temperature for up to 1 week
