Directions

1
Line a loaf pan (about 9" X 5") or small square pan with parchment paper, allowing paper to hang halfway over the sides of the pan.
2
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a large mixing bowl, add the marshmallow cream, chopped white chocolate, orange zest, cinnamon, and LorAnn Super-Strength Cranberry Flavor. Mix together until just combined and set aside.
3
In a heavy, 2-quart saucepan melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the granulated sugar, and whipping cream until combined. Increase heat to medium and bring mixture to a boil WITHOUT STIRRING. As soon as mixture comes to a boil, wash down the sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush to remove any stray sugar crystals clinging to the side of the pan. 4. Clip on a candy thermometer and continue to cook, WITHOUT STIRRING, to 240° F. Remove from heat and allow to cool until no longer boiling.
4
Pour the hot mixture into the bowl that contains the marshmallow cream mixture and stir until well combined.
5
Remove ½ cup of the candy mixture and color with gel coloring.
6
Using a spatula, transfer the rest of the candy to the lined pan and spread to smooth. Drizzle the colored candy mix on top and use knife to create swirls.
7
Once firm, cut fudge into slabs or pieces.
8
To store, wrap fudge in waxed paper and place in an airtight container; refrigerate up to 3 weeks. To freeze, wrap fudge in waxed paper, then foil and place in an airtight container. Can be frozen for several months.
9
Makes about 2 pounds of fudge.
