Easy, delicious, and oh so chocolatey.. Terry’s chocolate orange fudge that is SO easy to make you’ll be making it again and again.
Terrys chocolate orange obsession!
This is officially my NINTH Terry’s Chocolate Orange recipe on my blog… and I am not ashamed. Not even slightly. I knew I wanted to do chocolate orange fudge since I posted my Terry’s chocolate orange truffles recipe a few months ago, and I am SO glad that I finally did.
It is HEAVENLY. Like, I struggled to only eat a respectable amount of the fudge to myself. I ended up giving some away for taste tests as I didn’t want to be tooooo unhealthy… but honestly, this is a cake blog… I give up with being ‘healthy’!
Chocolate + orange
I have again used the classic idea of a condensed milk fudge recipe as they are just too damn easy and delicious. I was a bit wary however of trying a Terry’s chocolate orange flavoured one as sometimes using Terry’s it can cause a bit of difficulty because of the orange oils in the chocolate.
For example, I find making a chocolate orange buttercream reasonably difficult sometimes if you want a strong flavour, because its more prone to splitting! However, using it with the condensed milk it worked an absolute charm and was so silky smooth I couldn’t cope.
Adaptations
I didn’t feel the need to put anything crunchy into this fudge like I have all of my others, but I would suggest using a crunchy biscuit for example, as using Terry’s pieces would just melt and be a little pointless.
Optional topping
The only slight snag I had with using this chocolate, is that its not obvious as to what it is, unless you decorate it accordingly… so hello chocolate orange pieces and orange sprinkles on top! This is of course optional and you can also decorate to your taste.
Recipe Updated December 2018
The reason I decided to update this recipe, was to make it simpler! The original recipe details are listed below, but honestly this is so much easier! Also, it’s damn delicious. As always, the decoration is optional anyway!

Terry's Chocolate Orange Fudge!
Ingredients
Fudge
- 397 g condensed milk (one tin)
- 600 g Terry's chocolate orange
Topping
- Terry's chocolate orange chunks
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a tin with parchment paper – I would use a 9″ square tin as it makes a nice depth of fudge!
- Put the condensed milk and Terry’s chocolate orange pieces into a deep heavy based pan and melt on a low heat, stirring often so that the chocolate doesn’t catch on the bottom and burn and so that all the ingredients mix together well.
- Alternatively, melt the chocolate in the microwave in short bursts, then beat in the condensed milk with a spatula until smooth and combined.
- Pour into the tin and smooth over the mixture – store in the fridge for an hour or so.
- Sprinkle on some orange sprinkles, and any spare bits of Terry’s chocolate orange!
- Leave the fudge to set for at least 3-4 hours, or overnight! Once set – remove from the tin portion and then return to the fridge for another couple of hours to finish setting – ENJOY!
Notes
- I personally wouldn’t bother putting chunks of the chocolate orange through the fudge, as the fudge is already chocoaltey orangey enough – but if you want to put something crunchy in, use anything you like!
- This recipe will last better in the fridge for up to 2-3 weeks if it manages to last that long – you can also easily half or double the recipe, the setting times will just change slightly.
- If you want to make this cheaper, use regular milk or dark chocolate, and add in 2 tsps of orange extract!
- I used this tin!

Unfortunately, Condensed Milk tins now hold only 300 grams. I’m not certain how much of the chocolate oranges to add. Have you, by chance, red one this recipe to incorporate this change?
Thank you.
In the UK the tins are still 397g grams, so that’s what you need in total or you can reduce everything else to match.
Absolutely loved this recipe. First time making fudge, worked so well. Made a Baileys one from another site which was a disaster so I was very chuffed one of them worked. I used 300g milk chocolate and 300g desk chocolate (Ms Mollys Tesco) and orange extract. Topped with chocolate sprinkles and mini Terry’s chocolate orange pieces.
I would like a little crunch how much rice krispies should I use or crushed cornflakes
I’m no expert but I personally don’t think it would really matter because it’s basically up to you depending in how crunchy you like it!
Does the fudge need to stay refrigerated or can it be left at room temperature? And can you cut up the fudge into pieces straight after removing it from the tin (before the final 2 hours of setting)?
Game changer… Terry’s Chocolate Mint! Same recipe just changed the choc orange for choc mint. Wow… it vanished in the staff room!
Hi Jane! First time I’ve made fudge today but had one question. I melted the chocolate orange pieces in the microwave then mixed in the condensed milk. Within a few seconds the mixture suddenly went really thick! Is this normal? I had real trouble spreading it into the tin as it was like cement. Any ideas what happened? X
Hiya! Try the other method by melting both together – though if it sets fine then there’s no issues! Hope this helps! x
Hi Jane, when I made this last year it included icing sugar in the recipe. Is this no longer required?
Hiya! No, I have since updated the recipe! Hope this helps x
Mine’s gone oily. Must’ve over beaten it. Tried putting more icing sugar in but it didn’t come back. Let’s see how it sets.
Hi Jane mine hasn’t set , I melted the chocolate in the microwave and added the condensed milk. Any tips please ?
Hiya! Unfortunately evaporate milk will never work for fudge, it has to be condensed. Hope this helps! x
Hi Jane,
I was just wondering when do I add the orange extract? After I melt the chocolate or after the condensed milk and icing sugar?
Hiya! Add it in after the condensed milk and icing sugar! Enjoy! x
Hi where do you get your orange extract/oil from?? Thanks claire
This recipe is amazing instead of melting Terry’s chocolate oranges i use normal milk chocolate and flavor it with orange extract.
I’m so glad you love it!x
I love making this recipe! This is such a fan favourite of my family’s. It’s so full of flavour and so moreish!!
Hi. I’ve just made this for the first time tonight. The chocolate and milk melted really well and went nice and smooth, however on adding that shifted Icing sugar, it’s gone grainy and beating it made no difference. What do I need to do to stop this happening?
Oh no! You can try the recipe without the icing sugar by using 100g more melted chocolate instead if it’s a problem. It may be that it split slightly from the beating
Omg Jane I have made this today and wow it is amazing I did all in the recipe but the leftover orange pieces has I didn’t have any left over. I got around 30 pieces of fudge.
The first time I have ever made fudge and definitely now won’t be the last! Super easy to make and so delicious aswell. Budget friendly and perfect as a Christmas gift. My family loved it!
