These were a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just because I used a very tart orange. I would recommend using a sweeter orange if you want a less tart treat.

These are a bit time-consuming to make, but they're definitely worth the effort. The combination of orange and chocolate is divine and the chocolate coating is perfectly tempered.

I'm allergic to oranges, so I used clementines instead. They worked just as well and the chocolate-covered clementine balls were a big hit at my party!

These were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. I would recommend using a darker chocolate for the coating if you want a less sweet treat.
