decadent chocolate orange cheesecake bars
I love the flavor of Chocolate and Orange together. With some brain storming. I decided to create a dessert that was rich in Chocolate flavor with the essence of Orange. It is everything I hoped it would be. It is a rich chocolate orange indulgence. This is truly delicious. I hope you all enjoy my my new creation! Enjoy!
