Chocolate Covered Oranges
Description
This recipe transforms fresh sumo orange slices into an elegant snack by coating them in melted dark chocolate. After peeling and segmenting the oranges, each slice is dipped into smooth, melted chocolate created by melting special chocolate melting chips at intervals to prevent scorching. A sprinkle of sea salt is added before the chocolate sets, enhancing the fruity brightness while highlighting the chocolate's depth.
The final result balances juicy citrus flavor with the bittersweet richness of dark chocolate and a subtle salty note. You get a tender orange segment encased in a glossy, slightly hardened chocolate shell. This combination creates a satisfying textural contrast and a delightful blend of flavors.
Once coated, the slices can be enjoyed immediately while the chocolate remains soft or refrigerated or frozen for a firmer texture suitable for longer storage. Using melting chips rather than standard chocolate chips ensures a smooth, shinier coating that sets well without graininess.
Ingredients
- 2 sumo oranges
- ½ cup dark chocolate melting chips
- pinch salt sea salt
Instructions
- Grab your oranges and remove the skin. Then, peel apart into individual orange slices.
- In a microwave safe bowl, microwave dark chocolate melting chips in 30 second intervals. Mix between each interval to prevent the chocolate from burning.
- Next, dunk each orange slice into the melted chocolate and place on parchment paper. Sprinkle with sea salt before the chocolate starts to harden.
- Repeat this process until all the orange slices are covered. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate/freeze!
Notes
- Store chocolate covered orange slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer for best freshness and texture.
- Use chocolate melting chips rather than regular chocolate chips for a smoother melt and better coating consistency.
