Orange Molasses Muffins
"From the Crosby's Molasses site. These taste like moist orange-flavoured candy kisses! The recipe called for "fancy" molasses but I used "cooking molasses" (cheaper and I didn't know what the difference was at the time). I've since tried it with fancy (ie wimpier) molasses and didn't like it as much - tasted more orangey but I missed that nice dark, strong molasses-y flavour."
