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.
