Recipe
Creamy Orange Bon Bons
1 quart vanilla ice cream

1/2 cup powdered orange drink mix

12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, cut in chunks

With a small ice cream scoop or melon baller, scoop balls of vanilla ice cream onto a cold cookie sheet lined with waxed paper. Place in freezer to refreeze the ice cream balls to firm. Put the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and microwave at medium until liquid, about 1 1/2 minutes. Stop and stir every 30 seconds until melted, being careful not to burn it. Spread the orange drink powder onto a large plate. Roll the ice cream balls in the powder and put them back on the cookie sheet. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the ice cream balls. Return to the freezer until ready to serve. Recipe by Michael Chiarello.
