Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Old-fashioned and quick-cooking oats can be used interchangeably in this recipe. Instant oats--made from precooked and dried sliced oats--should not be used because they attract moisture and can produce gluey lumps. To easily cut the orange slice candies into pieces, use kitchen scissors sprayed with cooking spray.
