Chocolate goes well with almost any fruit flavor. Citrus flavors like orange and lemon are most traditional, but grapefruit and lime work well, too. The true magic of combining chocolate and orange lies in their contrast: chocolate is rich, intense, fatty and lush, and it's balanced by the fresh, fruity and zesty tones of orange, creating a party in your mouth! But oranges, lemons or limes add more than just bright colors and fresh taste to your bakes – think loads of C-vitamins! While chocolate adds more than earthy flavors – think heart-healthy antioxidants! No wonder fine chocolatiers like to pair citrus with chocolate. I never hesitate to invite them to party in my kitchen.
