Instructions
Step 1
Start with the **oranges**. Carefully wash them, then cut them into quarters, removing the seeds. After that, chop them finely.
In a pot, combine the chopped oranges, **sugar**, and **water**. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about **45 minutes** until it thickens.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat the **heavy cream** just until it begins to simmer. Remove it from the heat and add the **milk chocolate**. Let it sit for a couple of minutes.
After the chocolate has softened, stir gently until the mixture is smooth and **well combined**. Set aside to cool.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the **flour**, **brown sugar**, **butter**, and spices. Mix until the textures resemble coarse crumbs.
Spread the mixture on a baking sheet and bake at **180°C (350°F)** for about **10 minutes** or until golden brown, stirring halfway through.
Step 4
Once the orange marmalade has cooled, spread a thin layer in a rectangular mold. Pour the chocolate ganache over the marmalade layer, smoothing it out.
Finally, sprinkle the gingerbread crumble evenly on top. Let it set in the refrigerator for at least **2 hours** before slicing into pieces.
Servings
When it’s time to share your delicious “Taste of Tula” candy, consider making it a centerpiece! Arrange the cut pieces on a decorative plate and sprinkle some zest on top for a pop of color. 🌟 Serving them with fresh berries or alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream can elevate your dessert experience to new heights! For a cozy evening vibe, pair these sweet treats with a steaming cup of chai or coffee, and watch your guests’ eyes light up! ☕🍊
For a delightful twist, wrap them individually in colorful cellophane to create homemade party favors. Your friends and family won’t just enjoy the taste; they’ll love the thoughtful presentation too! 🎁✨
Equipment
Opt for glass or stainless steel for easy cleaning and durability.
A standard whisk will work, but a balloon whisk can help achieve a fluffier ganache.

Variations
Gluten-Free Version: Substitute regular flour in your gingerbread crumbs with a gluten-free blend, ensuring everyone can dig in worry-free! This small change keeps the crunch while catering to those with dietary restrictions. 🌾🚫
Vegan Option: Swap out the milk chocolate for a high-quality dark chocolate and use a plant-based alternative for the cream in the ganache. You can still achieve that rich taste without sacrificing your dietary preferences! 🌱🍫
Faq
- What if my ganache doesn’t thicken?
If your ganache is too runny, try refrigerating it for a bit to allow it to firm up. It should easily spread but not be overly runny.
- How do I store my “Taste of Tula” candy?
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the fridge for longer freshness!
- Can I use other flavors for the ganache?
Yes! Feel free to experiment with different flavored chocolates or add a splash of your favorite liqueur for a unique twist!
- What’s the best way to cut the candy without it crumbling?
Make sure to use a sharp knife, and consider warming the knife under hot water before the cut for a smoother slice.
- How can I get my candy to look more presentable?
For a polished finish, use a thin layer of cocoa butter or melted chocolate to coat the outside of the candy before cutting.
- Can I freeze the “Taste of Tula” candy?
Freezing is possible! Wrap each piece individually to prevent sticking, and thaw at room temperature before serving.
