My sister Anne turns a year older today. From February 10th (my birthday) to her birthday, I would lord it over her because I was FOUR years older. This worked fine when we were younger (for M.E. at least) but now, it is payback time for Anne who reminds me of that extra year! This recipe Anne got from Monna Cadell, a half-sister of an old I.U. friend, Randi Harmon Brooks. It was through Randi that Anne met her husband, J.C. Anne has never met Monna but has been in touch with her via e-mails through Randis illness and death. This different kind of fudge is indeed reminiscent of that summer time standby, the Dreamsicle.

3 C. sugar
1 1/2 sticks oleo (no mistake)
2/3 C. cream (can substitute evaporated milk)
1 12 oz. package vanilla chips
7 oz. marshmallow cream
12 drops yellow food coloring
9 drops red food coloring
3 t. orange flavoring

Put sugar, oleo and cream in a heavy pot and boil to the soft ball stage.
Add the marshmallow cream and vanilla chips. Stir until well mixed.
Remove from heat and set aside about 1 C. of this mixture.
Add orange flavoring and food colorings to mixture still in the pot. Stir well.
Pour into buttered pan or dish, about 11x13 or 9x9 inch square.
Take cup of mixture that has been set aside, stir it a little and drizzle it over the top of the fudge in the pan. Swirl it with a knife.
Refrigerate to cool.

NOTE: Monna says that since this is a very fast-moving project, you should have everything measured out before you begin. Have your buttered pan ready as well. m.e.
