Orange Fudge

Do any of you like orange sticks? This fudge is a variation of the usual marshmallow cream chocolate fudge recipe, but with the orange, it tastes like orange sticks. My mom loved orange sticks her whole life-we always knew we could get her a box for Mother's Day or Christmas and she would be happy, and she liked this fudge recipe, too.

Ingredients:
3 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter (not margarine)
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 -12 oz. pkg chocolate chips
2 tbsp orange extract
1 cup nuts
1 - 7 oz. jar marshmallow cream

Instructions:
In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, butter and evaporated milk. Bring to a full rolling boil over medium heat stirring constantly. Boil 5 minutes stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add chocolate chips; stir until they are melted and mixture is smooth. Add marshmallow cream, nuts and orange flavoring; beat until blended. Pour into foil-lined 9 by 13 pan and chill till firm.
