Halloween Mochi

A project I created for my Japanese Language class. A nice combination of chocolate and orange.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 20
• Yields: 1 peice

Ingredients

• 1  cup  mochiko  sweet rice flour
• 1  cup  orange juice
• 1⁄2 cup sugar
•  food coloring (if the orange juice isn't appealing in color)
• 20  Hershey chocolate kisses (I used dark chocolate)
• 3  tablespoons  sweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)

Directions

1. Mix Mochiko, orange juice and sugar in a bowl just until combined.
2. Lightly spray 8x8" pan with cooking spray.
3. Pour batter into pan and cover with plastic wrap.
4. Microwave on high for 6 minutes; if microwave does not rotate, turn pan after 3 minutes.
5. Carefully remove plastic wrap; Mochi is done when center is firm.
6. Let cool completely. (I suggest even putting it into the fridge for 10 minutes).
7. Divide mochi into 20 (or so) pieces; wrap a kiss in the mochi (wet hands between making each treat so that the mochi doesn't stick to fingers).
8. Roll mochi in cocoa (will only last 2-3 days).
