How to Store Candied and Chocolate Covered Orange Peels

To keep your candied orange peels at their freshest, place them in a glass jar or an airtight container and refrigerate. Stored this way, they’ll maintain their flavor and texture for up to 2–3 weeks—perfect for enjoying a little indulgence here and there.

When it comes to chocolate covered orange peels, the same rules apply. Pop them into an airtight container and store them in the fridge. While they may disappear quickly (especially if you’ve got a house full of snack enthusiasts), they’ll stay delicious for at least a week.

For the best experience, let your treats warm slightly at room temperature before serving, so the chocolate’s aroma and texture really shine.

Storage and Shelf Life

Wondering how long your chocolate covered orange peels will last in the fridge? When properly stored in an airtight container, these treats retain their freshness for about 1 to 2 weeks. For the best flavor and texture, we suggest enjoying them sooner rather than later—just try not to snack on them all at once!

Simply place them in an airtight container to protect them from moisture and odors, then store them in your freezer. This way, you can savor a sweet snack whenever the craving strikes.

To enjoy, just let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to take off the chill. For best results, make sure each orange peel is completely coated in chocolate—this creates a protective seal that keeps them tasting fresh even after freezing.

Tips for Perfect Chocolate Covered Orange Peels

To craft the most delightful batch of chocolate covered orange peels, a few simple tips can elevate your results:

• Choose Quality, Preferably Organic Oranges
  Since the peels are the star, opt for organic oranges when possible. This helps minimize any lingering pesticide residues and ensures a pure flavor.
• Prep the Peels to Remove Bitterness
  Boiling the orange peels before candying them is key—it softens their texture and helps mellow any strong bitter notes. Some bitterness might remain, but that’s where the rich, dark chocolate comes in to balance the taste.
• Select a Good Dark Chocolate
  A dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content makes for a sophisticated snack and pairs beautifully with the bright citrus flavor.
• Chill for the Perfect Finish
  Once dipped in chocolate, refrigerate the peels. They’ll set in as little as 15 minutes, but leaving them for at least an hour ensures the chocolate firms up all the way through.
• Store for Freshness
  For the best aroma and flavor, break and enjoy your chocolate covered orange peels within 2-3 weeks of making. If you have leftovers (a rarity!), keep them in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness.

Whether you’re snacking, gifting, or enhancing your favorite baked goods, these thoughtful swaps and steps will help you capture the best of this classic treat.
