I have been feeling fruity lately. Not in the lose my mind way. If you know me at all I am not big on baked fruit. I pretty much hate it. Baking with it is great since I love to bake, but I won’t eat it. Just won’t. The great thing about finding recipes that are fruit flavored is I get all the goodness of the flavor without having to eat the actually fruit cooked.
When I found this recipe I was excited. Orange and white chocolate are such a great flavor combination. Since I tend to fend off baked goods so I won’t eat them all, some of these went to work. And was told they were wicked good.
I already want to make more!

These look amazingly delish!
They were! I got high kudos for these when I brought them into work. I just love the orange and white chocolate together.
