Candied Orange Peel and Toffee

I like candy. So does Pooh.

Candied Orange Peel:
6 oranges
4 1/2 cups of sugar
1 1/2 cups water
chocolate

Peal the oranges and slice them up.  Put the peels in cold water and bring to a boil.  Once boiling, drain them, put in more cold water and bring to a boil again.  Do this 3-4 times to take out some of the bitterness.  Put water and sugar in a pan and bring to a simmer. Add peels and let simmer for about 45 min.   Pull out orange peels and coat in sugar.  Dip or drizzle with chocolate and enjoy!

Toffee:
butter
sugar
chocolate

So, after making the orange peels I had a bunch of melted sugar just sitting there so I added butter and made toffee.  It's a 1:1 ratio of  sugar to butter - just add the right amount of butter and simmer.  You want to simmer it until the temperature reaches 285 degrees and it gets to the color brown you're looking for.  Dump it out on a foil wrapped cooking sheet (with edges) and sprinkle with chocolate chips.  The toffee will melt the chocolate and then you can smooth it out with a rubber spatula for a nice even coat.  Cool, break into pieces, and eat.
