Notes

Store chocolate-dipped candied oranges in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Consider refrigerating in warm areas to maintain chocolate firmness. They can be frozen for up to three months if individually wrapped. Enhance your candy making with flavor-infused syrup using spices like cinnamon or star anise.
