Orange No-Bake Treats (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
01 -
2 ½ cups white chocolate morsels
02 -
½ cup whipping cream
03 -
1 tablespoon plain butter
04 -
Grated skin from 1 orange
05 -
½ teaspoon orange flavoring
06 -
½ teaspoon vanilla flavoring
07 -
¼ teaspoon salt
08 -
1 cup confectioners sugar (for coating)
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Put white chocolate morsels in a heat-safe bowl. Warm the cream and butter in a small pot until bubbles form at the edges. Pour this hot mixture over the chocolate and let it stand for 60 seconds. Mix until smooth. If needed, warm in the microwave with quick 10-second blasts.
02 -
Mix orange peel, orange flavoring, vanilla flavoring, and salt into your melted mixture. Cover the bowl with cling film and pop it in the fridge for about 2 hours until it's firm enough to work with.
03 -
After cooling, grab a small ice cream scoop or teaspoon to portion out the mixture. Roll each bit into small, neat balls. If the mix feels too gooey, stick it back in the fridge a bit longer.
04 -
Roll each ball in confectioners sugar until they're completely covered. For something different, try using shredded coconut or crushed graham cracker crumbs instead.
05 -
Keep these sweet bites in a sealed container in your fridge until you're ready to eat them.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Just scrape off the bright orange skin for best taste, staying away from the bitter white part underneath.
02 -
Want stronger orange punch? Add a tiny splash more orange flavoring, but go easy.
03 -
If the chocolate sticks to your hands while shaping, dust your palms with sugar first.
04 -
Want fancy treats? Add some melted chocolate drizzles on top after they're done.
05 -
You can make these treats days ahead and keep them cool in the fridge or freezer.
