CRISPY ORANGE COCONUT BALLS
In the world of Sandra Lee, a cookbook author and self-proclaimed "lifestylist," life is hectic and people are busy, so she cooks semi-homemade food. "The Semi-Homemade cooking approach is easily done by combining several prepackaged foods, a few fresh ingredients, and a 'pinch of this with a hint of that' to make new, easy, gourmet-tasting, inexpensive meals in minutes," she said. The Duncan Hines Creamy Home-Style chocolate icings that Ms. Lee calls for in her Crispy Orange Coconut Balls (truffles, really) do not allow you to have control over the quality of the chocolate - the main flavor of the dessert. If you would like more control of that flavor, try this riff, developed by Amanda Hesser.
