Maybe you should add dreamy to the title of your recipe, because that is what it was, very dreamy. It was too good to be true, and it didn't last long enough in my house in order for me to check. It was also alot easier to make then I thought it was going to be, and it was just the right blend of chocolate and orange flavours.
