Orange Slice Candy image

This is a candy confection made from those sugar coated orange slice candies. My sister gave me this recipe she had gotten it from a co-worker years ago. I love to make this candy along with a few others to give as a Christmas gift. I usually start making candy a few days before Christmas because it can be stored in containers . I just have to hide it! This recipe makes ALOT of candy! One batch can be enough for many, many, gift tins. My fiance's family loves it. His brother-in-law told him to keep me in the family so he can keep getting his orange candy for Christmas! LOL! *****NOTE***** This candy WILL have partially melted little chunks of the orange slice candy in it. You may want to experiment with a 'softer' brand to melt more easily as some jellied candies have a firmer texture than others. Enjoy!!

I'm not really a fan of orange candy, but these were actually pretty good. The glaze was really flavorful.

I had a hard time slicing the oranges thinly enough, but the candy still turned out great. I love the orange and sugar combination.

The candy was a little too chewy for my taste, but the flavor was great. I might try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.

My oranges slices were nice and chewy and the glaze was super shiny and glossy! I even had my neighbors asking me for the recipe.
