Orange Dark Chocolate Petit Fours
Tonight’s recipe is so easy! Using the other half of the cake mix I made the orange/dark chocolate cake roll box, I made 40 stellar petit fours.

Orange Dark Chocolate Cake Roll
I was going to make my white fruit cakes this weekend but the weather had other plans. It started sleeting Thursday about noon and took my daughter and me 2 and ½ hours to drive the 25 miles home from work that evening. Work was called off the next day and Monday is not looking…

Although I changed the recipe some because originally written it was far too sweet, I like it. To give credit, I read it on Melba’s Swap Shop column. Melba said the recipe was shared…
