Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low; boil gently, without stirring, for 4 minutes., Remove from the heat; gradually stir in milk. Cook and stir until a candy thermometer reads 244° (firm-ball stage). Remove from the heat; stir in extracts. Immediately pour into prepared dish (do not scrape saucepan). Let stand until firm., Using foil, lift out candy; remove foil. Using a buttered knife, cut caramel into scant 1-1/2x1-in. pieces. Wrap individually in waxed paper; twist ends.

ORANGE CREAM CHOCOLATES

Steps:

• In a large heavy saucepan add cream and sugar together. Let soak for a few minutes.
• After soaking, bring to a slow boil over medium to medium-high heat. Add corn syrup. Stirring constantly.
• Using a pastry brush and water to wash down the sides of the pan several times while boiling.
• Using a candy thermometer, cook to 238°F *SEE NOTES regarding calibrating your thermometer.
• Pour mixture out onto a damp marble slab, cookie sheet, or chilled mixing bowl (avoid glass as the mixture is very hot). DO NOT scrape pot sides when pouring the mixture. This can cause the fondant to have a gritty sugary texture rather than smooth and creamy. *SEE NOTES if mixture goes "grainy" or sugary
• Place 1 Tablespoon of butter in the center of the batch.
• Cool until warm to touch (5-10 minutes) then beat or use bread hook in an electric mixer. Beat until mixture turns creamy and dough-like. Let rest. *SEE NOTES*
• When ready to assemble chocolates, add orange oil or extract flavoring. Add enough flavoring to create a slightly intense orange flavor. The chocolate will lessen the intensity of the orange flavor.
• Once the orange mixture is ready, scoop or pour into a piping bag or ziplock bag. Cut the end to create a 1/4 inch hole.
• If the mixture is stiff enough to HAND-DIPPING, roll into desired size and shape. Cover and chill until firm. Once firm, dip in melted chocolate. Place on a sheet of waxed paper or parchment paper until chocolate hardens. Can be placed in the freezer for a quick set.
• If MOLDING, use a candy chocolate mold. For cleaning and use of chocolate molds, see post on Tips & Tricks for Making Homemade Chocolates. Fill each mold with 1/3 to 1/2 full of melted chocolate. Using a brush, coat sides (paint sides). Raise mold to the light to ensure each mold is fully coated. Place in freezer until hardened (about 5 minutes). Fill each mold with the orange cream filling. Make sure to leave a small amount at the rim of the mold so the chocolate on the top (bottom of the chocolate) will be able to seal. Cover top with melted chocolate to seal. Place back in the freezer to set (about 5 to 10 minutes). Once set, carefully flip and tap. If chocolates are cold enough and molds were prepped correctly, they will just fall out. Do not heat mold or chocolate. This will make the chocolates stick inside the mold (see video for reference).
• Store in an airtight container. Best if enjoyed when freshly made but if kept in a cool dry place, these chocolates will keep for 1-2 weeks if not longer.

ORANGE CREAMSICLE PATTIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Combine the butter, powdered sugar, and cream in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix everything together on medium-low speed until it is no longer powdery.
• Add the orange and vanilla extracts, and the citric acid, and beat them in until well-mixed.
• Raise the speed to medium-high and beat for an additional 30 seconds until you have a creamy, smooth paste. It should have the texture of Play-Doh-smooth but not sticky, and fairly stiff.
• If it seems too soft or sticky, add more powdered sugar as necessary until it's easy to work with.
• Divide the candy in half, and add a few drops of orange food coloring to half the batch. Stir or knead it in until it's an even color.
• Form each color of candy into a thin log, and twist them around each other several times until you get a swirled pattern.
• Form the swirled candy into a thin tube, about 1 1/2-inch in diameter.
• Wrap it well in cling wrap and twist the ends so that it stays in place.
• One optional, but helpful trick, to keep your candy round on the bottom: cut a slit in an old cardboard paper towel tube, and put the candy inside. This will help keep the bottom from flattening as it sits in the refrigerator.
• Refrigerate the candy for an hour, until it is very firm.
• Once firm, use a large sharp knife to slice off rounds about 1/4-inch thick. You should get about 24 to 30 rounds from this recipe.
• Place the white candy coating in a bowl, and microwave it in 30-second increments until melted and smooth, stirring after every 30 seconds to prevent overheating.
• Cover a baking sheet with waxed paper or parchment paper.
• Use a fork or dipping tools to dip a patty completely into the melted coating.
• Once fully submerged, remove it from the bowl, and let the excess coating drip back into the bowl.
• Set the dipped candy onto the prepared baking sheet, and while the coating is still wet, sprinkle the top with orange sparkling sugar or sprinkles.
• Repeat the dipping process with the remaining patties. If they get too soft to dip, chill them briefly in the refrigerator until they're firm again.
• Once all the candies are dipped, refrigerate the tray briefly to set the coating, for about 15 minutes.
• These candies can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a month. For the best taste and texture, serve them at room temperature.
