I added three drops of orange oil to enhance the zest, gave cookies a great orange flavor. I didn't realize I was low on white chips -- used one cup whitel, one cup chocolate. I am a person that doesn't really like white chocolate, but in this recipe, I belive they fit the application better than regular choc. chips. More subtle flavor with the orange with the white chips. People liked them, but agreed they would be better with all white chips.

Used it to top One Bowl Chocolate Cake III and it was excellent -- only needed 1/2 the recipe (used a raspberry filling). Spread nice, piped nicely, held up well.

Wow, I am not the biggest chocolate cake fan, but my friend is, so I looked for a recipe that would be tasty -- an hopefully better than a box mix. This recipe was IT! I thought it had wonderful flavor and was very moist with a nice, rich dark color. I used regular Hershay's cocoa, and everyone said "Oh, you must have used expensive, fancy chocolate". Will definitely make again. I used "Rich Chocolate Frosting" from this site and it went great together (I made 1/2 the recipe because I made a raspberry filling to put between the layers), and it was plenty to frost and pipe a couple of rows of shells. ENJOY!
