Chocolate Orange Fudge

Recipe adapted from here

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 (14 oz.) can Sweetened Condensed Milk

1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts, cashew nuts, almonds or pecans (optional)

2 teaspoons finely shredded orange peel

1 tbsp Orange Liqueur (optional)

Method:

• Line an 8-inch square pan with wax paper, extending paper over edges of pan.
• Melt chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk in medium saucepan. Remove from heat. Stir in nuts, orange liqueur and orange peel. Pour into prepared pan. Cool slightly.
• Chill 2 hours or until firm. Remove from pan by lifting edges of wax paper; peel off paper. Cut into desired shapes. I used a heart shaped cookie cutter to cut the fudge.
