I have an idea for what I want to do, but not how to do it.
I have some chilli chocolate, and I'd like to cover orange peel in it to make a snack. My question is how to sweeten the orange peel. If I boil them in sugar water will they just go soggy, or will they (as I hope) caramalise and become less sharp? What can I do with the flesh of the oranges?
It's beginning to sound a bit like a jam or marmalade, but I've never made either of those so I've noting to base it on.
Does anyone have any bright ideas?

I've never done it but it sounds like it ought to work - basically you make it in large pieces, so unlike marmalade or jam where the object is to suspend the fruit in a sugary syrup, you're trying to get the syrup into the fruit.
