Orange Chocolate Fudge

Ingredients
• 3 c. granulated sugar
• 1/2 c. orange juice
• 1/2 c. water
• 1 pkg. (12 oz.) semisweet chocolate chips or pieces
• 1 Tbsp grated orange peel
• 2 c. coarsely chopped walnuts

Instructions
• In a large saucepan (at least 4 quarts), combine the sugar, orange juice and water.

• Cook over medium heat stirring until sugar is dissolved.

• Using a candy thermometer, cook the syrup without stirring until the temperature reaches 234 ° -- the soft-ball stage. This usually takes about 25 minutes.

• Remove from heat and whisk in the chocolate until completely blended. Stir in the orange peel and the walnuts.

• Spread in foil lined pan and chill until set.

• Turn out of pan and cut into squares. Store covered in a cool, dry place.
