Chocolate Orange Bars

I can hear you already going what on earth is that?????



Well.....If words like “bars” make you think, “Ew, weird, clicking away now." Don’t–click away!


Avoiding things that sound weird will keep you from enjoying things that taste amazing.



So onto the recipe..

 

First things first
 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 1/4 cups flour
1 bag dark chocolate chips
1 1/3 cup sugar
1 tbsp grated orange peel
1 cup butter
1/8 tsp salt
14 oz can sweet milk
2/3 cup orange marmelade
8 oz mascarpone cheese
2/3 cup whipping cream

Second things steps...

1.Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch pan with Crisco Original No-Stick Cooking Spray.
2 In medium bowl, beat butter, powdered sugar and salt with electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. On low speed, gradually beat in flour until dough forms. Spread mixture in pan. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
3 In medium microwavable bowl, microwave milk and chocolate chips uncovered on High 1 minute; stir. Microwave up to 1 minute longer, stirring until smooth. Stir in marmalade; spread over base. Refrigerate 1 hour or until set.
4 In medium bowl, beat cheese, granulated sugar and cream on medium speed until smooth. Beat on high speed until mixture is thickened. Stir in orange peel. Spread over truffle layer. Refrigerate 1 hour or until chilled. For bars, cut into 5 rows by 4 rows, wiping knife after each cut. Store covered in refrigerator. 20 bars.


You can use cream cheese instead of mascarpone cheese but the mascarpone tastes much better


  Now simple disclosure I will on occasion borrow recipes and pictures from other sites if I did not take one and I apologize...The above recipe came from me and the picture came from flickr.com
