This Chocolate Orange Toffee Fudge is a chocolate fudge infused with orange zest and milk chocolate covered toffee pieces.
Yep, more fudge.
I warned you. 🙂
The good news is that you at least know where to come for fudge recipes. 🙂
So this fudge is made with TCHO Toffee and Sea Salt Chocolate.
You don’t need to buy it if you don’t want to.
This fudge has toffee pieces in it but I did like using the chocolate that had the toffee in it as well.
Since the orange is infused into the cream it gives just slight flavor of orange.
Be sure to strain out the zest as that would be no fun to eat in fudge.
Keys to Successful Fudge:
Have a thermometer.
I don’t like the old fashioned ones that you clip to the side. Those never work for me. I like digital and use this one.
Use Baker’s sugar. Also known as caster or superfine sugar.
I don’t always follow my own rule because I don’t always have it on hand but it makes for a less gritty fudge.
If you don’t have it you can run the sugar through a dry blender or food processor to make it superfine.
Use good butter. Preferably European.
They higher the butterfat content the better.
Cheaper butter often has too much water in it and will cause your fudge to separate.
Same goes for your chocolate.
The cheaper the chocolate the more likely it is to separate. If using chips I tend to use Guittard.
And when making extra special fudge I used TCHO .
P.S. It’s a great day to buy my cookbook Holy Sweet!
