My most favourite flavour
I grew up eating Orange Choc-Chip Ice Cream made by Tip-Top. It seems to be a flavour of ice cream unique to New Zealand as I have never seen it or eaten it since I moved to Canada. I miss my orange choc chip ice cream.
So I have had to settle for eating Terry's chocolate orange balls and making chocolate orange fudge.

Basic Home Made Fudge Recipe
Quick and Easy - Video Recipe
400 gram dark chocolate bar - broken into small pieces
1 can sweetened condensed milk
25 g butter
3 tablespoons icing sugar (powdered sugar)
Mix chocolate and condensed milk over low heat until chocolate has melted,
Add butter and icing sugar until all dissolved.
Pour into a non stick pan or on to waxed paper - additions on top at this time.
Allow to cool in fridge for an hour
Cut into pieces
FAQ
Please be aware that a NON STICK pan is essential for this recipe.
Additions can include anything on top such as walnuts, pecans, marshmallows, raisins, dried fruit, M&Ms, coconut etc after the fudge is in the pan and before it goes into the fridge
You can also experiment with adding nuts, raisins and dried fruit to the recipe during the melting stage.
You can probably also stir in a few drops of additional flavours such as vanilla essence, orange essence, mint essence, etc during the melting stage - but just do one flavour per batch. It's probably not a good idea to mix flavours.

- Killer lens. I love orange chocolate. I first came across it in Scotland in the late 60s, in the form of a "club biscuit" and I have never been the same since. Love these recipes! Thanks!
