Dipped Candied Orange Peel in Dark Chocolate

This is old-world confectionery, the kind that takes days rather than minutes. We candy real orange peel slowly until it turns glossy and tender, keeping enough bitterness to stay interesting, then dip each strip halfway in dark chocolate.

Part candy, part palate cleanser: chewy citrus, clean dark chocolate, no filler. It is the bite you reach for with an espresso, or after dinner when you want one grown-up thing.

A quiet favourite that tends to win over people who swear they do not like orange and chocolate.
