Chocolate mousse with fiery ginger shortbread and candied orange peel

One orange will make plenty of candied orange peel. Leftovers will stay crunchy for a few days and can be served in bowls as a snack for festive nibbling. Try dipping leftovers into dark chocolate for a delicious chocolate orange hit.
