* Remove from heat and stir in vanilla chips and marshmallow cream until smooth
* Remove 1 cup of this mixture and set it aside for later.
* To the remaining mixture all orange extract and food colorings, stir until blended. This mixture will now be orange.
* Pour into prepared glass casserole dish.
* Drop the white mixture, that was set aside earlier, by spoon over the top of the orange mixture and swirl with a knife.
* Cover and refrigerate until set.
* Cut into squares and serve.

Makes about 2 2/2 pounds of fudge. Unused fudge must be refrigerated.
