List of Ingredients




2 cups milk chocolate chips
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
2 1/2 teaspoons orange extract
1 1/2 cups finely chopped toasted pecans
Coating:
1 cup milk chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening


Recipe



Place chocolate chips in a mixing bowl; set aside.

In a saucepan, bring cream and orange peel to a gentle boil; immediately pour over chips. Let stand for 1 minute; whisk until smooth. Add the extract. Cover and chill for 35 minutes or until mixture begins to thicken.

Beat for 10-15 seconds or just until mixture lightens in color (do not over Beat). Spoon rounded teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Cover and chill for 5 minutes. Gently shape into balls; roll half in pecans. In a microwave or double boiler, melt chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip remaining balls in chocolate. Place on waxed paper to harden. Store in the refrigerator.
Yield: 6 dozen.
