Sitting at Peter's at the moment, thinking about the fudge recipe I concocted last winter when the recipe I'd been given and tried had failed:

Chocolate-Orange Fudge

zest of one large orange (recommended: navel [seedless], very large, something like 10-13 oz weight)
juice of half of that large orange
8 oz. confectioners' sugar
2 T butter, unsalted
4 oz. unsweetened chocolate (baking chocolate is good here)



Melt chocolate and butter in double boiler until hot & smooth. Remove from heat.  Add confectioners' sugar, zest, and juice and mix together thoroughly. Pour into foil-lined square dish and cool overnight.

Surprisingly simple, yet delicious.  Not too sweet, either!

...  And, I'm the very proud parent of one Very Smart Girl Who Took the Blue Ribbon for Microbiology at the Greater San Diego Science & Engineering Fair!
