4. Carefully pour the hot candy mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out to an even thickness.

5. Allow the candy to cool completely, then break it into bite-sized pieces.

6. Store the homemade orange candy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

For best results, use fresh, fragrant oranges to maximize the citrus flavor. You can also experiment with different zest-to-sugar ratios to adjust the sweetness and orange flavor to your preference.
