Yes, I have used tangerines also and they are very good, as well. The more fruit you use in the recipe the more moist the bars will be. I have varied this recipe and they are always good. :)

(That was 2/3 of an orange, not 2/3 cup. IF using a small orange, you could use the entire orange.)

These sound really great. I think I might try to make them with satsumas or clementines. That seems like one would be about 2/3 of an orange.
