    List of Ingredients




    1 package (11-1/2 ounces) milk chocolate chips
    1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
    3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
    1 teaspoon grated orange peel
    2-1/2 teaspoons orange extract
    1-1/2 cups finely chopped toasted pecans

    COATING:
    1 cup (6 ounces) 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 overbeat). Spoon rounded teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Cover and chill for 5 minutes. Gently shape into balls; roll half of the balls in chopped 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.
