Chocolate Orange Dipped Sticks (Printable Version)

Juicy orange sticks coated in rich chocolate, finished with a hint of sea salt for a balanced sweetness.

# Ingredients:

→ Chocolate Orange Sticks

01 - 2 large oranges
02 - 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
03 - 1 tablespoon coconut oil, optional
04 - Sea salt, optional, for garnish

# Steps:

01 - Peel the oranges and cut them into wedges or sticks. Remove any excess pith to ensure a clean appearance.
02 - Combine chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
03 - Hold each orange stick by one end and dip halfway into the melted chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to drip off. Place dipped pieces onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
04 - If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top of each chocolate-dipped orange piece before the chocolate sets.
05 - Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
06 - Arrange the chilled chocolate orange sticks on a serving platter or package for gifting.

# Notes:

01 - For best texture, ensure oranges are completely dry before dipping in chocolate.
