These taste AWESOME but... the texture didn't do it for me. These were more cake like balls than cookie balls. I put them in the freezer for a couple of hours to firm them up before I coated them, that made it a lot easier. This makes a lot more than what the recipe says.

I liked these very much, although I'm not so sure my friends and B&B guests did. This recipe makes A LOT so be prepared to have a lot of time to make them and get them dipped and set (if you want to do it all at the same time). I do suggest having the paper candy cups (buy them at Michael's) ready for a nice presentation. All in all, I will make these again, but won't do it every year, too time consuming.

Thanks for all the great "helps" I added 3 tablespoons of shortening and used the fork method. Which really helped coat all 50 of my orange balls very nicely. I wish I had used that method on my peanut butter balls I made the previous day. It is a little sweet, but generally a nice flavor. Next time I will add grated orange peel or perhaps some orange flavored liqueur to jazz them up. I coated with milk chocolate chips, next time I think like others suggested I will use a darker chocolate i.e less sweet. I did add some toppings while the chocolate was setting. Some with colored sprinkles, some with grated dark chocolate and some with finely chopped walnuts.

For years my mother has been looking for an orange chocolate and this fits the bill! She tried one and had to make a batch of her own. Thanks for sharing!

these turned out reeeeeally good! i was a little worried at first because the orange mixture was so moist but somehow it works. i like to keep them in the freezer and thaw them for a few minutes before serving. gave them as gifts to 2 friends and they were a hit!!

Had to give 4 stars as I have not made yet but with they sound like they should be great. Just a note about them being hard to dip. Use the best cholcolate you can find not cheap chips. I like Giradelli chips they melt to a great dipping chocolate. Invest a couple dollars and get a dipping spoon from a craft store wilton make a plastic loop one and also a fork. I like the loop best it make the job much less work

I was disappointed in this recipe:O( My guests liked them, but I prefer the baked cookies. The chocolate was impossible to put on, so instead I dripped the chocolate over the tops of the cookie. I was so excited to make this but I won't bake them again. Thanks anyway.

This recipe opened a whole new world of kitchen fun for me. I have used different frozen juices and different chocolates but the end product always thrills the taste buds. Thanks! I place a bunch of balls into the chocolate and swirl them around, then take them out with a tooth pick.
