Ingredients
- 2 large oranges
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips or melting chocolate
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
- Sea salt for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Oranges: Slice the oranges into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Dip the Orange Slices: Dip each orange slice halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off. Place the dipped slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with Sea Salt: If desired, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate before it sets.
- Chill Until Set: Refrigerate the baking sheet for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
- Serve: Once the chocolate is set, remove the slices from the parchment paper and enjoy your delicious Chocolate-Covered Orange Slices!
