½cupmarshmallow creme
2tsporange extract
Zest of 1 orangeoptional, for extra zing
Orange gel food coloringa few drops, optional
1tspvanilla extract

Instructions
Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to lift the fudge out easily later.
Melt the Base: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
Add Marshmallow Creme & Divide: Stir in the marshmallow creme and pinch of salt until combined. Quickly divide the mixture into two bowls.
In one bowl, stir in orange extract and a few drops of orange food coloring (and orange zest if using) to create the orange layer.
In the second bowl, stir in vanilla extract for the vanilla cream layer.
Pour the orange mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
Gently spoon the vanilla mixture on top and spread it smoothly. You can swirl the layers lightly for a marbled look or leave them distinct.
Chill to Set: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until completely set.
Slice & Serve: Use the parchment to lift the fudge from the pan. Cut into 1-inch squares and enjoy!
Notes
Use Gel Food Coloring: It gives a vibrant hue without thinning the fudge mixture.
Don’t Overheat: Melt the chocolate gently over low heat to avoid seizing or burning.
Work Quickly: The fudge sets fast once off the heat—have your layers ready to go.
Let It Fully Set: Be patient and refrigerate for a full 2 hours before slicing for clean edges.
