CANDIED ORANGE SLICES DIPPED IN CHOCOLATE
Someone gave us a gift of these delicious orange slices. These tangy oranges and creamy chocolate are an unbeatable combination. They look fancy and colorful, and are easy to make. A Christmas favorite. These do take a while to make but are well worth it. The orange slices are delicious even without the chocolate. Drying time not included in time. NOTE: When cooking the orange slices DO-NOT STIR. If someone is helping you make sure they do not stir just them push down on the orange slices as recipe says. :) I cut the slices in half again after cooking.

Steps:
- Cut the oranges in half lengthwise, with the cut side down slice the oranges crosswise into 1/4-inch slices, (you will have 1/2 of a slice of orange:DO-NOT peel),discard the ends.
- In a 10-inch saute pan combine the water and the 3 1/2 cups of sugar, stir to blend, then bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Add the orange slices, separating them, and simmer them gently for 1 hour uncovered; peroidically dunk any floating slices.
- Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
- Remove the orange slices, with a slotted spoon and transfer to a cooling rack set over a baking sheet to let drain and dry for 24 hours; NOTE; I dryed them in my oven set for for baked goods, or if oven has a pilot light, this worked great if it is a damp day.
- After drying the slices, toss them in the granulated sugar and reserve them, do not stack them as they will stick together.
- While you are coating the orange slices with the sugar, have the chocolate melting slowly in the top of a double boiler over 120 degree water: Chocolate can be melted in the microwave.
- When all the chocolate is melted and creamy and registers 100 degrees on an instant themometer, remove the top section from the double boiler.
- Add the 2-ounce of chocolate and gently stir until the thermometer reads 88 degrees to 91 degree, then remove what remains of the chunk of chocolate.
- Now dip the orange slices 2/3 of the way into the chocalate; gently scrape off excess chocolate against the side of the pan.
- Place the orange slices on a sheet of wax paper to set.
- Work quickly with the slices if the chocolate becomes to thick for dipping, place it over the 120 degree water again until it reaches 88 to 91 degrees.

Tips:
- Choose oranges that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin.
- To easily remove the zest from the oranges, use a vegetable peeler or a microplane grater.
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can make a makeshift one by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.
- Make sure the chocolate is completely melted before dipping the oranges.
- If you want to add toppings to the oranges, such as sprinkles or chopped nuts, do so immediately after dipping them in chocolate.
- Place the chocolate-dipped oranges on a wire rack to allow the chocolate to harden.
- Store the chocolate-dipped oranges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
