Well, candy, actually. These are super easy and pretty good, although after I made then I remembered my dislike for the whole chocolate-orange thing. Good thing I have roommates!
Orangettes
Slice ends off four oranges, score the peel from one end to the other, and remove the peels from the oranges. Slice the peels into thin strips and trim the edges.
Using a medium size pot, place the peels in boiling water and blanch them for a few minutes. Drain, rinse, and repeat twice with new water each time.
Prepare the simple syrup by combining 16 ounces water with 8 ounces sugar in a saucepan. Bring the syrup to a simmer, place the peels in the pot, and simmer for 1 hour. Once the peels have cooked, remove from pot, and place on a rack to cool and drain.
Melt 16 ounces dark chocolate over a double boiler. Dip the candied orange peels in the chocolate, remove them quickly, and let them cool on a piece of parchment paper. Store the orange peels in an airtight container.
