I’m definitely a chocolate person but today I find myself with only vanilla candy coating bark in my kitchen.
I decided to make orange flavored no bake treats with orange oil and rice cereal.
Adding a Few Drops of Orange Oil
Pure orange oil is not orange flavoring or extract. Orange oil can be purchased in specialty cooking stores. I believe I bought this bottle in a Williams-Sonoma store.
Orange oil is very strong so only a drop or two will flavor the whole bowl of rice cereal.
It also works well in making orange flavored sugar cookies.
Ingredients
- 5 Squares of White Candy Bark
- 2 Cups of Rice Cereal
- 2 Drops of Orange Oil not Orange Extract
- 2 Tablespoons of Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Directions for Making Orange Flavored No Bakes
1. Place five squares of vanilla candy coating bark in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for one minute, stir. Microwave for one additional minute if the bark is not completely melted.
2. Remove from microwave and add a few drops of orange oil.
3. Stir in two cups of rice cereal into the melted vanilla mixture.

4. Stir the rice cereal until well coated. Drop by tablespoons on to a wax paper lined cookie sheet.
5. Melt about two tablespoons of chocolate chips in the microwave until melted, stir well.
6. Use a teaspoon to dribble chocolate stripes over the no bakes.
7. Place in refrigerator to set for about 15 minutes. Store in air tight container.
