So, here I am, a day late yet again for my TWD posting. I just can’t help it… By the time I got these beauties covered in chocolate and their pics taken, I had to leave the house to deliver them to my chocolate loving nieces and get to my martial arts classes. So, I post late again. Better than not posting at all, yes?
This recipe was super easy and just uses one bowl. I made some slight modifications. I left out the orange zest because I had no oranges. Instead of 2.5 oz. of bittersweet chocolate, I used 1 oz. bittersweet and 2 oz. semi-sweet. I am not a huge lover of dark chocolate so I had to kick up the sweetness level a bit! Also, I didn’t have any white chocolate as that darn stuff tends to jump into my mouth everytime I buy some. What the heck? LOL. So I melted some regular chocolate chips and used those with some cutie star sprinkles. These were a HUGE hit with my sister and her girls. I will be making them again! Next time I will make a variety of flavors like cherry, mint, and peanut butter. YUM!!
Thanks to Jayma of Two Scientists Experimenting in the Kitchen for this week’s Tuesdays with Dorie selection. Check out the blogroll to see how others did with this week’s recipe!

They look so pretty! And really yummy! I skipped this week – too much happening at home and at work. I’ll have to try it on my own…I like your idea of the peanut butter variation. Mmm.

Your sister and your nieces are very lucky to have you baking for them. The buttons look really good!

I’m chronically late which is why I tend to stay away from baking groups especially those weekly ones. I can’t take the pressure.
Kudos to you for making the effort which is more than I’m doing.
Your buttons look nice with the star sprinkles. White chocolate would disappear at my house if I didn’t threatening bodily harm and starvation. No, seriously I just hide it. They won’t look past their nose.
