Ingredients
- 2 whole Oranges
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil
- 1 pinch Sea salt
- 0 optional Optional toppings (e.g., chopped nuts, shredded coconut, sprinkles)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the oranges and separate them into individual segments, removing any white pith. Pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure the chocolate adheres well.
Step 2
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Add the coconut oil to the bowl.
Step 3
Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely smooth and glossy. Alternatively, melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stove.
Step 4
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 5
Dip each orange segment halfway into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off. Place the dipped segments onto the parchment-lined sheet.
Step 6
Optionally, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt or chosen toppings onto the chocolate while it’s still wet for added flavor and texture.
Step 7
Once all segments are coated, transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and allow the chocolate to set for about 30 minutes.
Step 8
Serve the chocolate oranges as a snack, dessert, or edible gift. Store leftovers (if any!) in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
