  5. Add orange rinds and bring water to a boil then boil 3 minutes.
  6. Remove rinds with a slotted spoon and discard the water.

  8. Place pan over medium heat then stir until sugar dissolves and syrup comes to a simmer.
  9. Add orange rinds and simmer 10 minutes.
  10. Remove pan from heat and allow rinds to cool in syrup at least 30 minutes.
  11. If desired leave rinds in syrup up to 12 hours giving them a more candied taste.

  13. Discard syrup and when rinds are dry slice lengthwise into 1/4 strips.
  14. Set aside while you melt the chocolate.

  17. Add remaining chocolate and stir until chocolate is melted and smooth.
  18. Insert a candy thermometer or chocolate thermometer into the melted chocolate.
