I have made this recipe every year for 6 years now and my friends and family look forward to 30 more! It's fast, easy, and delicious. five stars

These taste great. I found that putting them in the fridge for a couple of days gives them a nice, firm texture. Cover tighly, though, or they will dry out. five stars

I made these cookies over 20 years ago to take to my first office potluck. I thought they were a little odd at the time, but everyone raved over them. After making them a couple more times, I was sold, too. I haven't made them in several years, but they're on my list for this Christmas! five stars

never made them, but i tasted them and they're awesome. They are really rich and taste like those chocolate oranges, if you've had them. i have little to no baking skill, but i bet i could make these. five stars

Had to tell people what they were almost before they tried them, otherwise they were expecting peanut butter and tasted orange instead. They were not a hit at three of the parties I went to. two stars
