Ingredients

  • 2 large oranges blood orange if you want drama, regular sweet oranges if you’re playing it safe
  • 1 cup-1.5 cups chocolate chips or chopped chocolate dark or milk, your call
  • 1 tablespoon honey or light corn syrup optional for shine
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract optional but nice
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Sprinkles chopped nuts, or flaky sea salt for topping (optional)

Instructions

  • Slice the oranges into 1/4-inch rounds. Aim for even thickness so they dry consistently.
  • Blot the slices with paper towels to remove excess moisture. No one wants a soggy chocolate shell.
  • Line a sheet pan with parchment. This is where the magic will set and chill.
  • Warm the chocolate gently in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in 20-second bursts in the microwave, stirring between bursts. You’re aiming for smooth, not burnt pajamas.
  • Stir in honey (or corn syrup), vanilla, and a pinch of sea salt. This is your glossy, glossy coating. Optional: add a pinch of cayenne if you’re feeling adventurous.
  • Dip each orange slice halfway into the chocolate and let the excess drip off. Place on the parchment. Repeat until you’re out of slices or out of patience.
  • Sprinkle toppings if you want a little extra personality. Chill in the fridge until the chocolate is set (about 20–30 minutes).
