Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment with non-stick spray or butter.

- Once firm, use the parchment overhang to lift the fudge from the pan. Cut into squares and serve!
Notes
- For extra citrus flavor, you can add chopped candied orange peel.
- Make sure the fudge is fully set before cutting to get clean squares.
