Ingredients

  • 2 large oranges
  • 3 cups water + more for boiling
  • 3 1/4 cups sugar
  • 7 oz.  high-quality vegan chocolate, broken into pieces

  • Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add the orange-peel strips and boil for 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • In another saucepan, add 3 cups water and the sugar and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Add the orange-peel strips. Reduce the heat and simmer for 45 minutes.
  • Drain and allow to cool completely.
  • Melt the chocolate over a very low heat, stirring constantly.
  • Dip half of each orange-peel strip in the chocolate and place on a sheet of parchment paper to allow the chocolate to set.
