There is almost nothing better than the flavors of orange and chocolate together. My crinkly Chocolate Orange Cookies are proof of that! Then there are those chocolate orange balls wrapped in the shiny orange foil that show up every year around Christmas. And the chocolate orange sticks. But honestly, there is not enough chocolate orange stuff in the world. I set out to remedy that problem, and thus, my Candied Orange Peel Bark was born.
Making your own candied orange peel is easy. I have a step-by-step tutorial for you right here.
After that, it’s just a matter of melting almond bark, spreading it out on some waxed paper, and dropping the candied orange peels on it. It seriously could not be easier.
After the bark hardens, you can break it into pieces. I cut mine into diamonds because I thought it looked prettier. I also did a mix of regular almond bark and chocolate almond bark. You can layer them, or even lightly swirl them together.
You could also use lemon peel or lime peel with this recipe. The results will always be fantastic and so beautiful! Plus, I bet nobody else is giving these to friends and neighbors in their Christmas goody bags.

Coarsely chop your candied orange peels and sprinkle them over the top of the bark while the bark is still soft.
