These Chocolate Orange Cookies hit you with some intense flavor, and the culprit is good old Kool-Aid.

How many years since I shopped for that? I never liked drinking the stuff, never offered it to my kids. It took a pretty good hunt down several aisles of Kroger just to find where they hide it and what the package looks like these days.

Grandkids thought they would be served a cookie and a bowl of chocolate to dip it into. Sorry to disappoint, but only Grandma and certain old-enough-to-help kids get to dip.

In the end, kids found it the flavor a bit much, but adults ate them like a raid on the Pepperidge Farm factory.
