Have you tried this recipe? It's sounds like something I will make ~ perhaps today because I am procrastinating doing my final(s) project(s) due tomorrow.

I have not tried it but I will soon. I love chocolate and orange together.
It had several good reviews on the site I got it from.

Orange ~ anything with orange ROCKS~ though I have say I love vanilla and orange the best sort of a 'creamsicle' but... then again... chocolate and orange ~ awesome

Yep, janie- this sounds WONDERFUL!

Chocolate and orange together always remind me of those fantastic orange flavored, orange-shaped chocolate candy oranges that were sold by Williams-Sonoma for years at outrageous prices- like $15.00- then magically offered by Wal-Mart a couple years later for like two bucks! If you guys haven't tried them- they're incredibly indulgent! Pick one up!

They sell them at the Rite Aid right down the street. I love those!
