Cut peel on each orange into 4 vertical segments. Remove each segment (including white pith) in 1 piece. Cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips. Cook in large pot of boiling water 15 minutes; drain, rinse, and drain again.

Personal Notes:
Mom taught me how to make candied orange peel when I was in high school. I was surprised at how easy it was to make. We never dipped it in chocolate back then but I would definitely do that now.
