I have never been able to ride the marmalade train. I wish I liked it, but something about the too-sweet taste and the aggressively chewy texture just makes it too much work for a toast topper. (Which is unfortunate, because I've always fancied the idea of sitting down to a civilized afternoon tea with crumpets and marmalade and clotted cream. This fantasy also involves a butler and an English country manor, so it's safe to say I have a long way to go before I get there.)
I do, however, like to cook and bake with marmalade, because it's an easy way to pack a lot of citrus flavor into a dish without adding a lot of liquid in the form of juice. These Orange Cream Cheese Balls make good use of marmalade, mixing it with white chocolate and cream cheese to form soft, tangy candies that actually taste like creamsicles! Try rolling them in toasted coconut or chopped nuts, to add a little extra flavor and a crunchy texture.
