Orange Cream Candy

This is a spin off of an old marshmallow recipe I have had since grade school. I love orange creamsicles, and I love the old fashioned marshmallows so I played around a bit and came up with these. They are pretty sweet and creamy tasting, and if you can leave them alone long enough to let them set, they look nice too!
