ORANGE CHOCOLATE MELTAWAYS
The terrific combination of chocolate and orange makes these some of the best truffles I've ever had. As holiday gifts, they're showstoppers. I have little time to cook, but when I do, I like to "get fancy." In this case, "fancy" doesn't have to be difficult. -Lori Kostecki, Wausau, Wisconsin

[email protected]These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time I make them.
