I love that this is good for me!! Chocolate and orange are one of my favorite combinations.

This sounds wonderful. For a minute I thought the candied orange was bacon!

There's an idea, seems to be a trend to add bacon to sweets.

...but your candied orange looks much more beautiful than bacon!

Hi H,
With OJ concentrate you could reduce the amount perhaps?. This pudding base is very adaptable to your taste, I myself tried different amounts of cocoa, sugar and OJ till I felt it all fell into place.

I wonder how orange juice concentrate would work? Do you think the orange would be overpowering?
