  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.
