    Why you'll love this recipe

    Chocolate Covered Oranges are such a fun and easy treat to make! All you need are oranges, clementines, or cuties, and your favorite dark chocolate chips. (And I highly recommend flaky sea salt!)

    They're a healthier candy alternative that both kids and adults will love.

    🍴Ingredient Notes

    Chocolate covered orange ingredients.
    • Oranges - You can also swap for clementines! Any orange will work with this recipe. Make sure they're peeled and separated before dipping.
    • Dark Chocolate Chips - My two favorite chocolate brands are Hu Kitchen and Pascha. They both offer dairy-free and soy-free dark chocolate. If you don't have chips, you can melt down a chocolate bar.
    • Flaky Sea Salt - This isn't necessary, but it really enhances the flavors!

    🍴Step by Step Instructions

    Step 1: Peel Oranges

    Start by peeling the oranges and breaking apart the slices. Place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet or large plate.

    Step 2: Melt Chocolate

    Next, melt dark chocolate chips in 15 second increments in the microwave. (You can also use a double boiler.) Add a teaspoon of coconut oil to thin out the chocolate if needed.

    Step 3: Dipping Oranges in Chocolate

    Dip half of each orange slice into the melted chocolate. Hold the slice above the bowl to allow excess chocolate to drip off. Place on the parchment paper and repeat until all of the orange slices are coated.

    Step 4: Chilling Oranges Slices

    Top with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt. Place the orange slices in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to set. Enjoy!

    Expert Tips

    • Be careful when peeling the orange, if the juice comes out, the chocolate won't stick well.
    • Let the chocolate cool for a few minutes before dipping the orange slices.
    • Add a teaspoon of coconut oil to the chocolate for a thinner and smoother consistency.
    • Dip the slices halfway for a beautiful color contrast. (It also keeps your hands from getting dirty!)
    • Place the oranges on a parchment paper lined baking sheet for easy transfer into the refrigerator. (This will also prevent sticking.)
    • Pre-peel all of the oranges before dipping in chocolate for a smoother process.

    How to store leftovers

    Store leftover strawberries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Make sure they're completely cooled before removing from parchment paper to transfer into a container.
