Oooh, these were awesome good. You can taste the orange-y flavor in the cream cheese mixture, which is yummy, but I think I might try it again without the orange peel to make it more of a pure chocolate flavor. I am sure you could probably make them taste lemon-y with lemon peel, or other stuff too. So yummy, and would be great for special occasions or holidays as a nice treat. I have one tip for getting the cream cheese mixture to stick on the strawberries and not all over your fingers. Keep a cup of cold water and dip your fingers in it between each strawberry. It keeps the cream cheese from sticking to your fingers like crazy, and allows you to rub it on the strawberry smoothly.
