Steps:
- Beat the butter with an electric whisk until it is light and fluffy, then beat in the icing sugar a little at a time, adding the orange zest and 1 tbsp orange juice. Beat in the flour and cocoa a little at a time, then mix in the chocolate and orange peel and 1-2 tbsp milk.
- Divide the mixture into two, pat each into a rough log shape on a piece of non-stick wrap or baking parchment, then use the wrap to help you shape each piece into a log around 15cm long. Chill until firm, about 2 hrs (see tip, below).
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line two baking sheets. Cut ½cm-thick cookies from the dough and lay them on the baking sheets, leaving space so they can puff up and spread. Put a piece of sugared candied orange on top of each. Bake for 10-15 mins or until the cookies are puffed. Cool on the sheets for a couple of mins before sliding them onto a wire rack. Will keep for two to three days in an airtight container.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your chocolate orange bites. Use dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%, and fresh oranges with a vibrant flavor.
- Be careful not to overcook the chocolate. This will make it dry and crumbly. Cook it just until it is melted and smooth.
- Let the chocolate cool completely before cutting it into bites. This will help it to set properly and prevent it from crumbling.
- If you don't have any orange zest on hand, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of orange extract instead.
- Feel free to get creative with your toppings. You can use chopped nuts, sprinkles, or even dried fruit to add a little extra flavor and texture.
Conclusion:
These chocolate orange bites are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're also a great way to use up any leftover chocolate or oranges you have on hand. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack, give these chocolate orange bites a try. You won't be disappointed!
