Rocky Mountain Orange Peel
November 22, 2010
The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory is an international retail franchisor of chocolates and confectionery products. 21 years ago a man named Frank Crail started the company in the old-west town of Durango, Colorado.
I recently tried their version of chocolate-covered candied orange peel. Chocolate-covered orange peel is one of my favorite chocolates, and I like to try various recipes from chocolate shops around the globe.
The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory's version of candied orange peel was excellent! The texture was chewy with a nice snap (I know that sounds strange but if you have ever eaten candied citrus you know what I mean) and the sugary sweetness was just right, not overly sweet. The chocolate was a bit subdued by the intense orange flavor. Just at the finish, the chocolate lost its intensity and bitterness. Overall, I enjoyed the great flavor combination. As always with good chocolates, I was left satisfied yet looking forward to more.
According to the Rocky Mountain Chocolate factory website, www.rockymountainchocolatefactory.com, they make about 300 chocolate candies you can choose from; clusters, caramels, creams, truffles.
By the way, you can make candied orange peel at home and dip it in your preferred chocolate. But I will warn you that the job is time consuming. Just make one batch and you’ll see why buying some will not only save you the hassle, but you will also realize why chocolate covered candied orange peel commands a high price!
