I wanted something different for my baked gift boxes this year, and I thought this would be the perfect accent. I followed the recipe as closely as I could, and they did turn out beautifully. I think I may not have gotten enough pith off, however, as they were still just a little bitter. (I also didn't dip them in chocolate so that they'd mail better, but they were good as is. Also, the texture wasn't quite what I was expecting. I thought they'd be a little more brittle, but mine were still quite chewy. They've become more brittle in the days since I made them though, and I prefer them that way.

These were so easy to make and very tasty! I made them for the first time and took them to a party along with homemade brittle and candied pecans. They added great color to the tray of goodies and everyone thought they were great and a refreshing change from "regular" treats. I will make them again. I like the idea of not dipping in chocolate and using them for a garnish or maybe add to a salad. It would also be great to try different flavors for dipping, such as mint...so be creative! Take the advice of the others and refrigerate after cooking.

Yummy. Be sure to refrigerate before dipping in chocolate. This is a hit!

IF you stick to the recipe to the last detail, they will turn out perfect. Boil each time for only a minute, and then immediately rinse in cold water.

The only addition I did was that after simmering in the sugar water, I laid them out on parchment and let them set up in the fridge. People loved them and asked for the recipe.
If you're unfamiliar with melting chocolate, I'd try getting some of those dipping chocolates in the containers that you just microwave to make it easier on yourself.

I made this for a party, and I didn't bring them! The candied orange peels turned out great, nice and sweet. The chocolate was the problem. I followed the directions for the choco chips, but the choco must not have melted properly. Does anyone have any suggetions. I put the chips in the bowl, and heated over heated H2O. It just was not smooth enough to dip the peels, it was a choco mess!!

The candied orange peel makes a great garnish. However, I didn't enjoy eating it as much as I thought I would, just because the texture was too mushy, and I could barely tell that it was candied. Note: I didn't put chocolate on my candied orange peels, so some they could be more enjoyable that way.

I never thought orange peels could taste so good. This is a fun recipe. It is really easy, but a little time-consuming. You need to press firmly on the peeler to get a long enough peel. These peels are a delicious little garnish for the crostata.

I love candied fruit but my family doesn't so I wasn't sure what their reaction would be when they tasted these, but one taste is all it took to convert everyone!! This homemade orange peel with chocolate is 100% better than any store bought. I did half in semi-sweet and the rest in a dark chocolate. The peels take take to make so be patient, but the dipping in chocolate goes fast!
