Yeah, nothing new under the sun, huh?  I figure someone out there made this 
before (I'm just not that clever - orange and chocolate.  I know, how about 
chocolate and peanut butter?) I was hoping for a name.

I used both the oranges because the GM, to me, is sweeter and has a honey 
taste and the Cointreau is more straight orange.  I think maybe I was using 
too much cacao and trying to over compensate with the GM.
