Step by step recipe

1	Prepare 200 g Candied grapefruit peel.
2	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.
3	Place on a low heat and let the chocolate melt...
4	...stirring occasionally.
5	The chocolate should be completely melted and smooth.
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.
7	Then place the bark on a sheet of baking paper on a baking sheet.
8	Do this for all the barks, then put the plate in the fridge to let the chocolate harden.
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.
