About the creamsicle fudge, I have never had this but I find it intrigueing. I have a coupke questions: Can you use orange juice instead of the orange extract? And can you omit the food coloring?
Hi Lorie,
Orange juice will not work in place of the orange extract. You can omit the food coloring but the fudge will just be white.

hi how much sugar do i need for the ceamsicle fudge?
Hi Sandy,
It is listed in the recipe card, it’s 2 1/2 cups.
~ Milisa
I made this and let it sat over night in the fridge, when I went to cut it, it was sticky and not hard like it should be.
Hi Tammy,
I would guess it didn’t cook quite long enough. If you try it again, I would bring it to a full rolling boil and boil for 4 minutes. I hope that helps.

Thanks Toni!
It’s very good. Have you ever froze it?
Can I use marshmellows instead of the jar stuff.
Hi Chris,
You can use about 2 cups mini marshmallows and it should turn out just fine.

Thank you very much. Looking forward to trying it. Merry Christmas
I hope you enjoy it!

You don’t say what size pan; it looks like 8×8. Also, how exactly to prepare pan? Is it just parchment paper, or do you butter it as well? Thanks
Hi Jeanne,
I didn’t butter the parchment paper and I have used both 8 x 8 and 9 x 9 pans to make this, it’s just slightly thinner with the 9 x 9. I hope that helps.
Thanks,
Milisa
This is such a great fudge recipe for spring. I absolutely love it, just so good.
