Orange and chocolate friands

The reason I'm so late making this is not simply due to my general uselessness but once more due to Nigel's misapprehension that those of us living outside of London are able to purchase niche ingredients such as in this recipe - crystallised orange peel.  Mixed peel is widely available in a very synthetic form but is definitely not what he's got in mind for these friands.  I therefore waited patiently for a planned trip to Sorrento and went on a hunt there.     I found a bag of peel in a beautiful little cake shop in the equally beautiful town of Amalfi.  These were very easy and quick to make and incredibly moreish.  My daughter felt they'd have been nicer using milk chocolate but having tasted the peel I felt that plain ofset the sweetness of it perfectly.
