I don't recall where this came from.  It's a 4-day holiday project, but the
results are worth it.
Halve and remove fruit from 3 grapefruits and 3 oranges.  Cut peel into
uniform 1/2" strips.  Pare off white pith.  Put in a saucepan with water
enough to cover.  Boil 5 minutes, drain, and repeat.  (This debitters the
peels.)  Add 2 cups sugar.  Cook until peels are transparent and sugar is
absorbed (about 45 minutes), watching to avoid scorching.  Spread a cookie
sheet with 2 1/2 cups sugar.  Roll the peels in sugar.  Lay strips
skin-side-up on a wire rack.  Put waxed paper over them.  Let rest 2-3
days.
Melt chocolate in double boiler.  Dip ends of peels into chocolate.  Let
cool on rack.  Store in an airtight box with waxed paper between layers.
