In a separate bowl, mix the cocoa powder and milk. Add to the dough. 
Once combined, gradually add the oil and cocoa butter mixture until you have a stretchy dough that comes away from the sides of the machine. 
Finally, add the diced candied orange peel, the orange blossom water and the fresh orange zest.
Check that the temperature does not exceed 24 °C and leave to prove until it has doubled in size.
Knock the air out of the dough and stretch out in a pan. Cover with cling film and put in the fridge overnight.
Prepare 8 cm cube-shaped moulds and grease with butter. Coat the sides with diced candied orange, flaked almonds and pearl sugar.
Cut off 140 g pieces, place in the moulds and prove for 2 to 3 hours at around 26/28 °C.
