This recipe is so quick and so simple. The fudge has only 2 main ingredients,
chocolate and a can of sweetened condensed milk. I like to add a little
butter, salt and vanilla for extra flavor to yield a sweet, smooth,
impossibly easy, foolproof fudge with a layer of creamy white chocolate orange fudge, that is so velvety as you sink your teeth into each devine, ultra-rich bite!
The colors also make this fudge great for Halloween! You can even add a plastic spider ring to the top of each fudge square for a fun Halloween party treat.
This is a full batch recipe, based off of my 4-in-1 fudge recipe. It makes a full pan of perfect chocolate orange fudge, but if you are looking for a little variety, be sure to check out my Simple 4 Flavor Fudge to create a flavor variety pack with just one recipe!

Heat white
chocolate chips and remaining sweetened condensed milk in the microwave
for about 15-30 seconds until stirred smooth (do not over cook as white
chocolate can easily burn!) and stir in orange extract and food coloring. (Alternatively
melt white chocolate and remaining sweetened condensed milk in a double
boiler.) Immediately spread over your semisweet chocolate layer. Chill
in the refrigerator for 2 hours or until firm.
