Instructions
- Peel the orange and divide it into segments. Line a large plate with wax paper.
- Place the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl and melt it in the microwave in two or three 30-second sessions, stirring after each session. Stir the oil and sweetener into the melted chocolate.
- Dip half of each orange section into the melted chocolate. Swirl to allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
- Place the dipped orange segments on the prepared plate. Refrigerate them until set, for about 20 minutes, then serve.
Notes
- I typically use Lindt 78% broken into pieces or 85% chocolate chips.
- I add stevia because I use very dark chocolate. Depending on the chocolate you use, you may or may not need to add a sweetener.
- Melting chocolate in the microwave is quick and easy. You can also use a saucepan, but using the microwave is easier. Just make sure you do it in 2-3 sessions and stir after each session to avoid burning the chocolate.
- You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Remove them from the fridge about an hour before serving. Chocolate and fruit are always best at room temperature. I don't recommend freezing the leftovers.
