Why You’ll Love This

Neuhaus Orangettes capture one of chocolate’s most elegant pairings: vivid citrus and deep dark chocolate. The candied orange peel remains tender and aromatic beneath a thin chocolate coating, creating a bite that is sweet, tangy, gently bitter, and remarkably refreshing.

What Makes It Special

Each orangette begins with artisanal candied orange zest and is dipped in intense dark chocolate. Neuhaus crafts the chocolates in its Belgian atelier near Brussels, and the orangettes are alcohol-free. The recipe is deliberately simple, allowing the natural orange oils and dark cocoa to remain clear and balanced.

Perfect Pairings

Pair them with espresso, cappuccino, black tea, Earl Grey, Champagne, tawny port, Grand Marnier-style citrus notes, roasted almonds, hazelnuts, fresh berries, vanilla gelato, or an after-dinner cheese board.

Serving Ideas

Serve at cool room temperature so the dark chocolate can release its aroma and the orange peel softens slightly. Arrange on a dessert board, offer with coffee after dinner, add to a holiday or hostess gift, or chop into small pieces for topping chocolate mousse, gelato, or panna cotta.
