That batch stayed very soft while the orange batch firmed up nicely right alongside them in the tin! Strange (and sad) but true. They tasted great though, so I say get creative and go for it! (Good call on the mint, Beth... I think that would be amazingly delicious. I bet you could even roll them in crushed peppermint candies too! Mmmmm!)<br /><br />I just love reading your blog, Beth, and am so honored that my little chocolate balls are worthy fodder for your site. I have wonderful memories of making these as a child... and as a moody teenager alongside my favorite girlfriends who were PMSing and jonesing for a good chocolate fix just as much as I was! It's hard to believe we've got another reunion looming in a few short months, but I'm so looking forward to visiting with you and all our girls! Can't wait until you arrive at the Hotel Toft! :)robbandtarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14310123625502626064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694301393683885691.post-16965687897456336332011-01-14T16:03:25.654-06:002011-01-14T16:03:25.654-06:00Hi Bev!

I have never personally tried these with other flavorings, but Tara tells me she has used almond extract in the past, and we don't know if its related, or why it would be this way, but she says they never seem to firm up quite the same way. I would say they SHOULD be interchangeable, I think mint would be lovely.Ty'sMommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14227042503847495503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694301393683885691.post-30971726935472940302011-01-14T15:46:56.066-06:002011-01-14T15:46:56.066-06:00I'm not a chocolate/orange fan. Have you ever ...I'm not a chocolate/orange fan. Have you ever had these with any other flavor of extract? Are all extracts the same as far as how they blend with other ingredients? I'm thinking almond or mint or anise.Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11296458913864371738noreply@blogger.com
