CecileJ, good thick sunkist peels will do. But are probably coated in wax… so please wash and scrub it very well before using…

Marzipan coated in chopped pistachios.. pure bliss. Those must have been delicious.
Reminds me of the pistachio marzipan covered in chocolate from Jean Paul Hevin.. Am now wondering, what about Pili marzipan and chocolate? Wonder if that will work too?!

Wow, this post is timely. I have been seriously planning on making orange peels dipped in dark chocolate. Have been saving my schaffenberger dark for this. Will try MM’s recipe first then the others. Thank you all!

zena, cecilej and AleXena, my recipe for candied sagada orange peels, here. Go a step further and dip in some melted dark chocolate, and voila! :)

AleXena and Cecile J: if you are up to it, it’s not that difficult to candy your own orange peels. Just wash them well to get rid of possible wax and when you peel them, do not include the pith, the white part because it’s bitter. I just use a simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water) and reduce till i get the peel to my desired consistency and taste. Use good quality bittersweet chocolate to dip them in. I’m sure the others have their own style too. Betty q.? =)
