Lanière d'orange confite, couverture noire.
could this be 'iced'? It sounds strange :
'Iced orange strip, dark chocolate coating'
Any ideas?

Just a note: looking around on google, I see that both "crystalised" and "candied" are used. Some sites even have something like this Crystalised (candied) oranges or vice versa. So, really if you choose either "candied" or "crystalised" you can't go wrong. Good luck!

: Candied orange peel sounds more familiar to me and gets 46K+ ghits, while crystalised orange peel only gets 6. Could be about whether or not sugar crystals form a surface coating? Or just convention?

preserved
I have just made some preserved lemons - this would be called "citron confit" - lemons are pickled in salt and their own juices together with herbs (bayleaf, cinnamon etc) for 2 months - and small slivers are are used in savoury dishes.
I'm not sure whether "candied" implies the use of sugar or not - but confit does not.
