Scorza d'arancia al cioccolato fondente

The candied peel ribbons are chewy and tart in all the right places, and the dark chocolate coating snaps cleanly before melting. I kept going back for another piece until the bag was dangerously close to empty.

The balance here is spot on—the dark chocolate isn't overly sweet, and the candied orange peel ribbons give it that nice chewy bite. I grabbed it for an afternoon pick-me-up and ended up finishing half the bar in one sitting.

I wasn’t expecting the orange peel to be this tender—it practically melts into the dark chocolate instead of fighting it. The ribbon texture makes each piece feel more like a petit four than a snack, and the balance of bitter and sweet is spot on. I’ve already finished half the bag in two sittings.
