Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Beat first six ingredients in a large bowl with mixer on medium speed until combined. Add your choice of flavors and mix together. Divide dough in two; roll each half into a 12-in.-long log. Place on an ungreased baking sheet, 3 in. apart. Bake 25 minutes.

2. Remove from oven; cool 10 minutes (cool orange-chocolate completely). Cut logs into 1⁄2-in.-thick diagonal slices, place slices upright on baking sheet and return to oven. 10 to 12 minutes until pale golden. Cool completely.
