Orange Chocolate Meltaways
|
 |
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
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 in nuts. 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.
