Add ½ cup of sugar, water, cinnamon, star anise, and salt to a pot. Heat the mixture stirring constantly until sugar dissolves. Add cooked peels and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, for 35 minutes or until peels look translucent and shiny.

Using tongs or chopsticks, remove peels from pot and place in a drying rack set over a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let them dry for 6 hours, uncovered.

Once orange peels are dry, use ½ cup of sugar and coat the peels. Once coated, dip peels in melted chocolate or drizzle with chocolate.

Serve immediately. If you have any leftovers, store in an airtight container.
