My son was craving something chocolatey after school today and the only chocolate thing I had in the house was Hershey's syrup. Sadly, someone put the milk jug back into the fridge with about 2 tablespoons of milk this morning and didn't tell me. So, being the inventive kid he is (always mixing flavors, etc.) he asked me if he could put the Hershey's in a glass of OJ. I figured he'd gag and pour it out. But he was delighted instead. It actually tasted just like a Terry's Chocolate Orange in a glass! Just put the same amount of Hershey's syrup in the glass of orange juice as you would the same size glass of milk.

Never would have thought of it though you often find chocolate and orange mixed - like orange creams in those fancy chocolate boxes. I too have an "inventive" child that loves to mix flavors - I shared this and his first response was "we have chocolate syrup and OJ".

.

SD, I cannot believe you did not have the ingredients to concoct the Turkish Delight drink featured in this weeks's TD food section. I always have a little bit of Turkish delight in the back of the pantry! LOL I am forever amazed at the TD recipes from outer space.

have you ever tried oj and ice cream(vanilla) mixed like a milk shake. Taste really good

I like orange soda mixed with vanilla ice cream

Back in the 60s hippie era, there was a popular non-alcoholic drink called an "Orange Beardsley," which was a chocolate-orange blend of some kind and was very tasty! There was a little avant garde shop on 21st Avenue near the Vanderbilt campus where you could buy this delicacy.

I love the ideas of orange juice and orange soda with ice cream! Sounds like a Dreamsicle! Wish I could have tried one of those Orange Beardsley's. Darn it, I missed the Turkish Delight recipe. Readaholic, did ya'll get to try it (the Hershey's and OJ)? Hit or miss?

I'm allergic to OJ, but a little chocolate in the Dreamsicle orange soda/vanilla ice cream
sounds like a delicious possibility slurp

I think OJ is guilty.

LOL

Rowdy, I think that was even funnier because I had read none of the thread until just before reading your post & clearly did not expect that at the end. Thanks for the laugh.

He sure as hell was. They got him now, though.

Santa has worked very hard to get OJ where he belongs .

I've always like an Israeli liqueur called Sabrah -- orange and chocolate.

My son mixed one up and I must admit to a bit of nervousness on my part but I gave it a taste and found it to be very good! Definitely a hit though my son said it should be an adult drink as the sugar content would send some kids up the wall or maybe that is the parent up the wall after being with a child who has consumed it.

LOL! The only problem I had when I agreed to try it was the color. Looks somewhat like sewer water, doesn't it? Adult drink? Gives me an idea! Add a little vodka! OOOO, or maybe some champagne! Let's name it. Any ideas? OR, we could go with Creme de Cacao, Grand Marnier, and champagne. Mmmmmmm.
