Chocolate-Covered Candied Orange Peels

Candied orange peels simmered in syrup thickened with honey, then dipped in dark chocolate infused with chili flakes. Preparation involves blanching to remove bitterness, simmering for tenderness and syrup absorption, and air drying until tacky. The finish is glossy, slightly spicy chocolate coating that hardens firm at room temperature. Store in airtight container in a cool dry place; lasts up to three weeks. A method emphasizing careful texture control, balancing bitterness, and tempering chocolate to prevent bloom or cracking.
