Ingredients

  • 1 large navel orange
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Using a vegetable peeler, cut the orange part of the peel from the stem end of the orange down to the navel end, forming long 3/4 to 1-inch-wide strips. Bring a heavy small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the peels and cook for 1 minute. Drain and then rinse the peels under cold water. Repeat cooking the peels in the saucepan with fresh boiling water and rinsing under cold water.

Stir the sugar and 1/2 cup of fresh water in a heavy small saucepan over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil. Add the orange peels and simmer over medium-low heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the peels to a sheet of parchment paper to dry slightly, about 1 hour.

Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir the chocolate in a small bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water until melted and smooth. Dip 1 1/2-inches of each candied orange peel into the chocolate then place them on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 15 minutes.

    My grandmother used to make this as a treat when I was a child, my mother also had it as a child. I was so happy to find it. I usually do not used the chocolate as I like it plain. I love it, thank you Giada

    If you have a gas stove, do not simmer the sugar/water for 15 minutes. You will have a black fireball and a housefull of smoke.
