Amaro Hot Chocolate
Rich hot cocoa gets a boozy touch with bittersweet Italian amaro. You can use the amaro of your choice and then pick the type of chocolate to match: Averna will give semisweet chocolate a nice herbal and caramel finish. For a punch of mint and a bitter kick, sub in Fernet and try milk chocolate instead. Don't worry, though, there are no wrong choices or combinations here.

Orangettes
Orangettes are a perfect, simple homage to the combination of orange and chocolate. This recipe is designed to create candied orange zest that is delightfully chewy on the inside, with chocolate the snaps between the teeth on the outside. Use a high-quality chocolate of no more than 61% cocoa solids; higher percentages can be difficult to use for dipping. I like to simmer a cinnamon stick in the simple syrup to impart a hit of cinnamon. It's not mandatory, but highly recommended.
