les orangettes!

i don't like too much orangettes myself, i use to make them for my family (they're definitely fond of those :)
it's not easy to find good candied orange peels, that's why i've stored some tons when i found some awesome ones in a confectionery wholesale.. they drip with their own sugary juice, splendid :D
sometimes i tried to make candied peels by myself but i disliked the process and then they were too thin.. all things considered i look for them already candied whenever i can and i try to use peels cut in quarters.

i like to make both orangettes and nuts covered with chocolate (which i really like to eat myself eheh)

orangettes and choconuts

dark chocolate (at least 50%cocoa)
candied orange peels
minced nuts: peanuts, almonds, walnuts, pine seeds

melt the chocolate in a bain marie, mixing well. in the meantime cut the candied orange peels in a half and mince the nuts.
dip the peels in the chocolate, one by one. place them gently on a rack till the chocolate is solified.
place some spoons of minced nuts in small baking tins (like tartellette tins wrapped with baking paper) and pour on them melted chocolate. i usually mix more or less the same amount of chocolate and nuts.
when the chocolate is solified completely, keep orangette and choconuts in the fridge till serving.
