ORANGE-WALNUT FUDGE

If you get into the habit of making this stuff, prepare to trade in your button-flies for elastic waistbands. Just a word of warning.

INGREDIENTS

3 3/4 cups sifted powdered sugar 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1/2 cup margarine or butter 1/4 cup evaporated milk 1 TBS orange peel 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

DIRECTIONS

Line an 8 X 4 X 2 inch loaf pan with foil so it extends over edges of pan. Butter the foil, set pan aside. Sift the powdered sugar and cocoa butter into medium mixing bowl. Set aside. In a small saucepan, combine margarine, milk, and orange peel. Cook over medium heat just till boiling, stirring constantly till margarine is melted. Remove from heat, cool slightly. Stir into powdered sugar mixture. Add walnuts, stirring till well combined. Spread fudge in prepared pan. While fudge is warm, score at 1 inch intervals. Chill in refrigerator for several hours until firm. When firm, use foil to lift fudge out of pan; cut into pieces. Store in sealed container.
