Candied Sicilian Orange Peels in Dark Chocolate 250g

Sicilian orange peel, candied slowly until it is translucent and still yielding, then coated in dark chocolate of at least 50% cocoa. Peel is three quarters of the pack, which is the number worth looking at - the chocolate is a coat, not a filler, and the bitterness of the pith is left in rather than boiled out. That bitterness is what makes the combination work; sweetened orange on its own would be cloying. Candied citrus is a Sicilian habit older than the chocolate that now covers it, and the island's oranges are the reason. Serve them at the end of a long meal when nobody wants another dessert, with espresso or a small glass of passito. They also chop well into a panettone or a ricotta cannoli filling. 250g.
