Directions
Chocolate Coated Orange Peels, This makes a great gift, if you don’t finish it all yourself first!, These are a lot of work but they are worth it! Even though you will be putting in a lot of time, you are unlikely to mess them up if you follow these instructions One thing: I was only able to squeeze less than 50 candies with this much chocolsate so you might want to heat up more than just 5 oz , I never mix the oil with the chocolate I always use chocolate chips b/c they’re cheaper & they microwave & melt well To microwave chips successfully I do it on 50% power and every thirty seconds I take the chocolate out and mix Doing it this way takes about 3 min
