Ingredients

• 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
• 12 oz Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 6 oz White chocolate chips
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp Orange zest
• 1 tsp Pure orange extract
• 1 cup Macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two opposite sides for easy removal. Lightly spray the parchment with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and unsalted butter.

Step 3

Stir the mixture constantly with a heatproof spatula until all the chocolate has melted and the mixture is completely smooth, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the orange zest, pure orange extract, salt, and chopped macadamia nuts. Mix until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with the spatula.

Step 6

Gently tap the pan on the counter a few times to eliminate any air bubbles and ensure the fudge is evenly leveled.

Step 7

Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or until fully set.

Step 8

Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the fudge from the pan and place it on a cutting board.

Step 9

Cut the fudge into 16 equal squares (or smaller pieces if preferred).

Step 10

Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
