Chocolate and orange often arrive together at a holiday party in the form of chocolate-dipped, candied orange peels. Although I am enamored with the flavor duo, I am almost always left wishing the treat were more about the citrus and less about the sugar, as the rind is typically boiled until sticky-sweet in a concentrated sugar syrup.
节日聚会少不了巧克力橘片组合--蘸着巧克力酱的蜜饯陈皮。虽然我十分享受这一双重口味，但同时我也希望巧克力橘片的柑橘味更重、糖味更少。因为蜜饯陈皮通常是在浓缩糖浆中煮至粘稠状所得。
The accompanying recipe is my wish come true. It captures the pure essence of the chocolate-orange pairing with enough sugar to temper the citrus rind's bitterness without drowning out its flavor. Cutting a whole orange or two into very thin wheels using a mandoline and baking the slices at a low temperature - dehydrating them, really - turns them into crisp rounds of concentrated orange flavor. The sprinkle of confectioners' sugar that dissolves into the fruit as it cooks offsets the intensity of the peel without making it markedly sweet.
随附的这份食谱让我的希冀成真。这份食谱掌握到了巧克力橘片的精髓--糖分足以调和橘片的苦味，但却不会遮盖其原本的味道。用mandoline切片机将一个或两个橙子切成超薄的橘片，而后低温烘焙--使其脱水--变成圆形的浓缩薄脆橘片。烹煮的过程中撒上精制细砂糖使其溶于橘片，但糖分的含量不足以遮盖橘片本身的味道（不会变得齁甜）。
The orange crisps are then dipped in melted chocolate and then chilled until the coating has set. They make a lovely holiday gift layered in a box or jar and wrapped with a ribbon - if you can resist keeping them all to yourself.
然后将橘片浸入融化的巧克力中，冷却至包裹层凝固。将做好的巧克力橘片放入礼盒或罐子中用丝带包好，一份精美的节日礼物就呈现在眼前啦--如果你能经得住诱惑，不独吞的话。
Ingredients
所需材料
2 medium navel oranges, well scrubbed
2个中等大小洗干净的脐橙
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2勺精制细砂糖
5 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
5盎司切碎的半甜巧克力
Steps
制作步骤
Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 200 degrees.
将烤架放置在烤箱的上下三分之一处并预热至200度。
Use a mandoline to cut the oranges into 24 very thin slices. Discard any pits (sometimes found even in navel oranges), then arrange the orange slices on the baking sheets in a single layer. Sprinkle them with the sugar. Bake (upper and lower racks) for about 2 hours, until the oranges are dried and crisp, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom and front to back after 1 hour. Cool completely.
用mandoline切片机将橙子切成24块薄片。扔掉有坑的切片（有的脐橙会有），然后将薄片一片片地单放在烤盘上。撒上糖。烘焙上下层烤架约2小时，直至橘片完全干燥、变脆。一小时后，按照由上至下、由前至后的顺序旋转烤盘至完全冷却。
Place the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH in 30-second intervals, stirring after each time until the chocolate is just melted and smooth. Dip the orange slices in chocolate to coat them halfway, returning them to the wax paper-lined baking sheets once they are dipped. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
将巧克力放入小型微波炉中。高温微波30秒后搅拌，重复此步骤直至巧克力完全融化、变得丝滑。将橘片的半边蘸上巧克力，而后放入蜡纸衬里的烤盘中。最后，将其放入冰箱冷藏30分钟。
