Here is an easy recipe for dark chocolate flavored with candied ginger and orange peel. The flavors of orange and ginger are so good together in a ginger vanilla orange pound cake that I figured this flavor combination would taste awesome in dark chocolate as well. It’s delicious 😋. Then to add some fall color I sprinkled chrysanthemum petals which really transformed the chocolates into something beautiful. Try it!

Orange Ginger Dark Chocolate Drops

Ingredients:

• 1 lb dark chocolate any variety. Chopped into small pieces.
• 1 tsp fresh grated orange zest
• 1/4 cup soft candied ginger finely chopped
• 1/4 cup candied orange peel finely chopped

Directions:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Chop the chocolate bar into small pieces. Place in a glass bowl and melt chocolate in a water bath until the chocolate is melted through and creamy.

 

• Add candied orange peel and candied ginger pieces and mix into the chocolate.

• Next using a tablespoon place dollops of chocolate in a circle shape on parchment paper.
• Sprinkle the chocolate with chrysanthemum petals. Gently press the petals down so they stick to the chocolate.

• Place chocolate in refrigerator for 30 minutes for the chocolate to harden.

• After 30 minutes chocolate drops are ready. Place in a bowl to serve.
