Step by step recipe

Stage 1

Prepare 200 g Candied grapefruit peel.

Stage 2 - 3 min.

Pour 100 g dark chocolate and 1 tablespoon oil into a glass, place the glass in a small saucepan and fill with water.

The spoonful of oil is there to give the chocolate a nice shine after coating.

Stage 3 - 1 min.

Place on a low heat and let the chocolate melt...

Stage 4 - 7 min.

...stirring occasionally.

Stage 5

The chocolate should be completely melted and smooth.

Stage 6

Remove the pan from the heat and place it on your work surface.

Dip a bark halfway into the chocolate.

Tap to remove excess chocolate.

Stage 7

Then place the bark on a sheet of baking paper on a baking sheet.

Stage 8 - 30 min.

Do this for all the barks, then put the plate in the fridge to let the chocolate harden.

Stage 9

Remove the orangettes from the leaf, then put them in a jar to enjoy.

Remarks

For a version with almonds or hazelnuts, dip each bark, with the chocolate still warm, into a plate full of almond powder ( roasted if necessary).

You'll see a lot of recipes where the chocolate is melted in a bowl, but this is a bad idea. It's much better to use a narrower, taller glass, which is much more practical.

Keeping

Several days in the fridge, in a closed container.

Clarified butter

This is a way of melting butter to eliminate all the impurities. The clarified butter can then be heated without spoiling, and is more digestible. It is ideal for cooking at high temperatures where small black specks would spoil the appearance, or for emulsified sauces like béarnaise or mousseline.
