Step by step recipe

Stage 1

Prepare 1 ¾ cup Candied grapefruit peel.

Stage 2 - 3 min.

Pour 1 cup dark chocolate and 2 tablespoons 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.

How to prevent butter burning during cooking

Butter, which is excellent for fixing flavours in a recipe, burns if the temperature is too high. It darkens and produces unpleasant small black specks (by the way, note that the famous recipe "raie au beurre noir", ray in black butter, is a kind of sacrilege!).
