I wonder if you could do this with mandarins as a substitute... altho maybe not the mandarin juice.? :P

[Patricia]

I don't see why not Monty...give it a go and let me know. I made them today and they are really nice...little bit different. I used grated coconut instead of dessicated so mine were a little more lumpy than theirs looked but still delish!

Patricia, how do you make the orange icing! LOL I'm not a cook :blush: :help:

[Patricia]

Monty I just use icing sugar mix ...say about half a cup to start with and slowly very slowly add some juice from an orange, mixing it until you get it just the right consistency. I'm not sure how much you will need so you are better off making it again if you need more rather than make a big lot you might not use. Hope that helped. LOL
