Equipment
- 1 heatproof bowl for melting chocolate
- 1 double boiler or microwave to melt chocolate gently
- 1 parchment-lined tray for setting dipped slices
Ingredients
- 2 large oranges
- 7 oz dark or milk chocolate chopped
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or butter optional
- Optional toppings: sea salt flakes chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or orange zest
Instructions
- Wash and dry the oranges thoroughly.
- Slice oranges into 1/4 inch thick rounds and pat dry to remove moisture.

- Refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes until the chocolate is firm.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature as a snack or dessert.
Notes
