Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Set aside a third of the chocolate. Melt the rest in a heatproof bowl over barely simmering water (or in 20-second microwave bursts), stirring, until it reaches 115°F.
Remove from the heat and stir in the reserved chocolate until melted and the chocolate cools to 88 to 90°F. It's tempered when a streak on parchment sets glossy and firm within 5 minutes.
Dip each piece of candied ginger halfway in the chocolate, let the excess drip off, and set on the parchment. Sprinkle the undipped ends with sugar if they feel sticky.
Let set until firm, about 30 minutes.

Tips

Storage: Store airtight in a cool place for up to 2 weeks.
