Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces bittersweet chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
  • 8 ounces white chocolate chopped
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil divided
  • 1 teaspoon pure orange extract or zest of 1 orange
  • 2 tablespoons candied orange peel chopped

Instructions
 

  • Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  • Fill a saucepan with 1–2 inches of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Place bittersweet chocolate and 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a heatproof bowl set over the pan. Stir until melted and smooth, about 3 minutes.
  • Remove bowl from heat; whisk in orange extract until well combined.
  • Pour chocolate into prepared pan and spread evenly. Tap pan firmly on the counter a few times to release air bubbles. Refrigerate until set, about 10 minutes.
  • Clean and dry the bowl. Place white chocolate and remaining 1 tablespoon coconut oil in the bowl over simmering water; stir until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat; stir in orange extract or orange zest.
  • Drizzle melted white chocolate over the dark layer in a zigzag pattern. Use a toothpick to drag through chocolate and create a marbled effect.
  • Sprinkle candied orange peel over the top. Refrigerate until completely set, at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Use parchment overhang to lift chocolate out of pan. Peel away paper and cut chocolate into 1×4-inch sticks with a sharp knife, wiping the blade between cuts for clean edges.

Notes

Always ensure the bowl is completely dry before melting chocolate to prevent seizing.
Tapping the pan firmly on the counter twice releases trapped air for a smoother surface.
For longer storage, freeze sticks separated by parchment and thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
