Ingredients
  

  • 6 oz  (1.5 sticks) butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cups heavy cream
  • 12 oz white chocolate chips
  • 7 oz marshmallow cream (or fluff)
  • 1 tbsp orange extract
  • orange (or a combination of red and yellow) food coloring

Instructions
 

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