Author Notes
When I was a kid I loved Jaffa's, little orange coated balls of chocolate. Mostly we had them at the movies. I think that started my love of orange chocolate anything. Following my survival from brain cancer, I need to avoid gluten and sugar. Ok, there's a little in the choc chips on the top but I can't live completely paranoid now I get this second chance can I? :) —vanessa green
