This recipe was chosen by the pupils of the Elementary School “Marin Drzic” in Dubrovnik. We choose another girl from the same class and the two of them together have made the orange peel candies. Mia brought them to school. After having tasted them we all agreed that these were the best orange peel candies we have ever tasted. Some pupils who have not liked this kind of sweets before, declared that they definitely liked these ones because they were much better than candies in candy shops. 

By the way, there are 11 pupils in our class.
