Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Orange Fudge
  1. Start by lining an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine dark chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter over low heat, stirring consistently for about 5–7 minutes until everything is completely melted.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the orange zest and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly for about 1 minute.
  4. Carefully pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  5. Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and let the fudge chill for at least 2 hours to set.
  6. Once set, gently lift the fudge out of the pan using the overhanging parchment and slice into squares.
