Notes
- Slice oranges your preferred way. I cut mine into rounds so they are more visually appealing, but do not eat the peel.
- They can also be peeled and sliced before dipped into chocolate.
- Stop and stir chocolate mixture between each 30 second increment to prevent burning. It should only take two 30 second increments to be fully melted.
- This makes a lot of melted chocolate so you will probably have a little leftover. I like to use up any fruit in my fridge and dip it in!
- Dip as much or as little of the orange pieces in the chocolate as desired.
- Store in fridge for up to 4 days.
- I do not recommend freezing these.
