Method 

Prepare Your Dish 

Start by preparing your dish for the fudge. Take a small square dish or any dish you prefer, and line it with parchment paper. This step is crucial as it helps the fudge to come out easily once it’s set. If you don’t have parchment paper, you can use plastic wrap or aluminum foil to line the dish, but parchment gives the best result.

Melt the Goodness 

Now, it’s time to melt the magic! In a medium-sized saucepan, pour in the condensed milk and place it over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Once the condensed milk begins to warm up, chop your white chocolate into smaller pieces and add them to the pan. Keep stirring constantly as the chocolate melts. This ensures the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps. The goal here is to have a thick, creamy, and smooth chocolate-milk mixture. Patience is key, so keep stirring until everything blends together perfectly.

Stir in the Toppings 

Once your chocolate and condensed milk are fully melted and combined into a creamy mixture, remove the saucepan from the heat. Take some of your chocolate orange segments and chop them into smaller pieces. Add these pieces into the melted fudge mixture and stir gently. You want to incorporate them into the fudge without over-mixing. Next, pour the fudge mixture into your prepared dish and spread it evenly. Now, take the remaining chocolate orange segments and place them on top of the fudge, gently pressing them in for extra flavor and a decorative touch. These toppings will melt slightly into the fudge as it chills, adding that burst of chocolate orange flavor in every bite.

Let it Chill 

After you’ve added your toppings, it’s time to chill the fudge. Place the dish in the fridge and let it chill for at least 4 hours. This step is essential as it helps the fudge set and firm up. If you’re in a rush, you can try chilling it for less time, but I recommend leaving it in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours to get the perfect texture. For even better results, leave it in the fridge overnight, especially if you want a firmer, more solid fudge.

Necessary Tools 

• 1 medium-sized saucepan
• 1 parchment paper-lined dish (for setting the fudge)
• A chopping board and knife (for chopping chocolate orange segments)
• A spatula or spoon (for stirring the fudge)

Serving Suggestions 

• Serve the fudge as an after-dinner treat or bring it along to your next holiday party.
• Pair it with a cup of hot cocoa or coffee for the perfect sweet-tooth fix.
• If you’re feeling extra, drizzle a little melted dark chocolate on top for a fancier presentation.
