Something different

Layne Gunkel from Fremont, IN

The combination of orange & chocolate in this recipe reminded me of the Jaffa Cakes I'd tasted in England, so I emailed the recipe to my daughter, who lives in England, thinking she might like to serve it when entertaining her friends at tea. We prepared the recipe together during my visit last week. It met with mixed reviews; she and I love it, but my husband wasn't too enthusiastic about the taste of the marmalade. She & I decided it could be just as tasty for finicky eaters like her father by substituting raspberry or apricot preserves for the marmalade. She & I definitely will be making this recipe again not only in it's original version, but also with the variations we suggest, as it is something a bit different from the ordinary.
Outstanding

MARY SCHUCK from GREEN RIVER, WY

Two chocolates and orange are an unbeatable combination. Finally...a great way to use orange marmelade!

Absolutely Wonderful!

Tess Rogers from HERREID, SD

I made these bars with my assisted living residents today. It was very easy but smelling the bars bake was torture. Everyone just loved them, they had a wonderful time figuring out all the flavors. There wasn't one left so next time we'll have to double it. I even had a visitor ask me for the recipe!

Delicious orange bars

ANGELA TOZER from BROCKPORT, NY

I had an abundance of oranges and had just made some homemade orange-peach marmalade, which I used in this recipe. I made the recipe as stated. I used a 7 x 11 inch pan and the bars were delicious.

Rose Nowak from LOCKPORT, NY

These cookies are absolutely delicious. I made them using apricot jam because that's what I had on hand. My husband took some to work and they disappeared. One co-worker stated that he thought they were the best cookies ever. Definitely a keeper!
Very Popular

Carol Zelinko from IRVINE, CA

I took these to an afternoon meeting where seveal people immedialtly asked for the recipe. Eveyone loved them! Since my husband likes nuts I added more to the crust and also sprinkled more on when I sprinkled the white chips and chocolate chips over the marmalade. Will make this again as it is delicious and very quick easy to make.
very different

Kathy Watson from BLOOMINGTON, IL

subtle exotic taste , very different
Great with many substitutions, too!

Eileen Fukunaga from MONTEREY, CA

This was an easy recipe to put together. No walnuts so I used pecans, which I like better anyway. I ended up using three different flavors of jam and that made it fun. I also used a bag of the swirl semi-sweet and white chocolate chips instead of using 1/2 bag of each. My husband loves anything chocolate, so I made these for him. They smelled so good when they came out of the oven. Definitely making it again!
Fabulous Cookies

JUDY MARTIN from CORINTH, MS

This is not only a delicious recipe, but easy to make.
Chocolate Orange Blossom Bars

Mary Dempster from HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA

I loved these bars. I used pecans instead of walnuts. I thought there was going to be too much marmalade but everything turned out just right. I loved not having to bring out the mixer which made the preparation time so much quicker. Next time I would leave out the egg - it made the mixture sticky and not crumbly to spread over at the final stage.

I fixed this recipe the other day. It is so YUMMMMMMMMY! I normally change or add an ingredient in about any recipe I try. Not this one -- There was nothing to change in it. It's perfect as is.

IDA BEEK from LANDING, NJ

I made these scrumptious bars yesterday afternoon for a special dessert treat. Instead of walnuts I used chopped pecans and the result was a big hit with my family. The combination of orange and chocolate made this one of the best desserts ever. This will be made again and again.

My guests just couldn't get enough of these yummy treats. The next time, I'll make a double batch! This recipe is very easy to assemble and well worth the effort.
Chocolate Orange Blossom Delicacies

Robbie Johnson from ANCHORAGE, AK

An excellent bar cookie. Good for bake sales, pot luck dinners, & family desserts. I've also used strawberry or raspberry preserves instead of orange marmalade. Very good in any combination of chips with either marmalade or preserves. I also used peach jam with milk chocolate and peanut butter chips.

i make this chocolate orange bar and my family just love this bar.they warm it up and put ice-cream on top of it and they just love it that way.
unusual AND flexible

Donna Glassman from Glendale, WI

These bar cookies are delicious when prepared exactly as the recipe has been written. However, I also have made them with milk chocolate and white or semi-sweet chocolate morsels, used a variety of nuts, and used apricot or peach preserves in place of the marmalade. All of these variations are (also) delcious!

I'm not normally a fan of mixing fruit and chocolate, except for the as-often-as-possible chocolate covered strawberry, but this was very nice! I took some to work and got kudos from the big boss!
