Chocolate Covered Oranges
Equipment: parchment paper, tray, mixing bowl, mixing spoon, measuring spoons
Prep Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
-
1 orange of choice
-
1 cup dark chocolate
Instructions:
-
Peel the oranges and line them on top of a tray with parchment
paper. If any of the oranges are wet pat dry them because the chocolate
won’t stick to the wet parts
-
Either in a heat safe bowl over a double boiler (medium-low heat)
or by 30 second intervals in the microwave, melt the chocolate
stirring frequently to prevent burning
-
Dip each orange slice into the chocolate and wiggle them to create
a smoother line of chocolate. Gently shake off as much chocolate as you
can or else you’ll have too much chocolate on one orange piece
-
Once covered with chocolate place on the lined sheet and
let cool at room temperature for 5 minutes then transfer to the fridge
Variations:
-
Add toppings of your choice to each orange slice
-
Try different oranges like navel or blood orange to change the taste
