These were AWFUL! We could hardly taste the orange at all even though we even added more because we really like orange. And the bitterness of the dark chocolate left a bad aftertaste that was twinged with orange (that was the only time we could taste the orange).

I'm sorry to have to amend this review. I finally made these last night following the recipe and it was not good. Amazed at the bitterness the orange rind and orange marmalade gave to the flavor. I would have added sugar to the cream cheese to make it sweeter. I will never rate something or review again without making the recipe. I wonder if it was the product? I used everything listed. Couldn't find anything labled "Sweet Marmalade" so bought King's Marmalade which is what I usually have. It's sweet enough. Anyway, not going to make this again. I'll stick to my cinnamon sugar version of this.

I have a similar type recipe that my mother devised for leftover pie dough scraps but it is more like a rugalah with cinnamon and sugar instead. We kids loved it more than the pie so when I grew up I started using Pillsbury pie crust specifically for this pastry! I was going to enter it but missed this year's entry period. I guess a lot of people use pie dough for pastries like this. I wonder if I would still be able to enter it in the future (it's rolled differently than this one too) or would it seem too similar now? Although I haven't made this one yet I think it sounds wonderful and can't wait to try it. Good luck in the contest.

instead of orange peel and marmalade I used heated ice cream caramel and spread on cream cheese mixture and then used milk chocolate chips! YUM

Easy to make and they look great! Not a huge fan of the orange flavor, but that is easy to replace with strawberry or raspberry jam. Yum!

The orange and chocolate flavors are great together. Good luck at the Bake-Off!

I tried this recipe because I love the flavor of orange and chocolate together. This was very easy and very good! I am going to serve it at my next party. Thanks!
