very yummy! A nice change from most truffles. I wish I would have minced the peels after zesting for better flavor distribution. I also dipped these in white chocolate, then in coconut. This made them a little too sweet. The truffle was very firm, and I had to melt it in the microwave to roll it out. Loved it, though!

Yum, yum and yum again. I did these last night as presents for DD's kindergarten teachers and they have turned out really well. Super easy and super delicious. Thanks Mandy for another keeper.
