Let the candy making begin!!

We began our Christmas candy making tonight. We made the peanut butter part of the peanut butter balls and our first batch of orange fudge.  Yes, I said orange fudge.  I will post the recipe here, this one is a must taste. One note though, if you follow the directions yours will not be this orange as I did not have the dropper food colorings so I had to guess, but hey this will work for those of you who are Tennessee fans!

Orange fudge

Place 3/4 cup butter

 3 cups sugar and

3/4 cup heavy cream in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil 4 minutes.

Remove from heat and add:

1 bag white chips

1 small jar marshmallow creme

Remove 1 cup of this mixture and set aside.

To the pan mixture add:

12 drops yellow food coloring

5 drops red food coloring

3 tsp. orange extract

Mix until orange and pour into a 9x13 inch pan that is well greased.

Pour white mixture in glops on top of orange and swirl with a knife. Let set.

May the Lord find us faithful.
