Zeppole With Orange Sugar and Chocolate Sauce

Zeppole With Orange Sugar and Chocolate Sauce
Normally I like to watch food network and try out the dishes especially those cakes and dessert.

It's better to watch the preparation rather than following the recipe from a cook book.Yesterday
I happened to watch Giada making these Southern Italian Doughnuts known Zeppole which are tiny and fluffy balls rolled in orange sugar and dip in chocolate on food network.These balls doesn't need much ingredients and happened to have very single item in my pantry. These wonderfully delicious mouth-watering dessert can be served filled or with just a sprinkling of sugar.
