2 teaspoons grated orange zest, divided
9 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons orange juice
3 tablespoons coarse sugar
1-1/2 cups dark chocolate chips

In a small bowl, cream the butter, almond paste and 1/2 teaspoon orange zest until light and fluffy. In a microwave, melt white baking chocolate; stir until smooth. Gradually add to creamed mixture. Slowly stir in orange juice. Beat until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes or until easy to handle, stirring occasionally.
