    These Chocolate Covered Oranges are seriously to die for! They are the perfect combination of sweet, salty, and tart. The silky chocolate combined with the sea salt and citrus oranges is quite delicious. This homemade dessert can be made in 15 minutes or less and will save you money over buying store bought desserts.

    This homemade treat is one of my go to’s during citrus season. Citrus season tends to fall between January and April. This recipe was inspired by my best friend who loves oranges and has a winter birthday.

    • Secondly, this dessert is super easy and quick. It only takes minutes to make. 
    • This recipe is naturally gluten free, grain free, soy free and paleo. This recipe can also be made dairy free and vegan by using dairy free chocolate.

    Ingredients

    Ingredients to make chocolate covered orange slices in two small glass bowls.
    • Clementines-I like using mini oranges (clementines) for this dessert because they are more bite sized! Make sure they are peeled. 
    • Chocolate chips-I like milk chocolate over dark chocolate. Make sure you choose chocolate chips over a chocolate bar because it will melt easier.
    • Sea salt-I love the combination of sweet and salty! This adds such a nice touch. 

    See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    Substitutions And Variations

    • Chocolate chips-I am dairy free so I tend to only buy dairy free chocolate. I like the Hu and Enjoy Life chocolate brand, however any kind of dairy free chocolate chips will work.
    • Clementines-Any kind of orange slices will work. I like clementines because they are small.

    This recipe has not been tested with any other substitutions or variations. If you test it out, let me know what you think and how it turned out in the comments below!

    Step By Step Instructions

    Dipped orange slices on a sheet pan dipped in chocolate.
    Step 2: Dip half of the orange slices in chocolate and lay on the sheet pan to harden.

    Equitment Needed

    Expert Tips

    • Tip #1: Do not burn your chocolate! You must cook the chocolate in 30 second increments or else the chocolate will burn.
    • Tip #2: Make sure you tear all of the white pieces off of the oranges.

    Recipe FAQs

    How should I store these?

    This recipe lasts in the fridge for up to 5 days. Make sure that you store them in an air tight container to ensure they stay fresh.

    Can you freeze them?

    Unfortunately oranges do not freeze well.

    What happens if I cook the chocolate too long?

    You will need to throw it away and start over.

    How do I make silky chocolate?

    The key is cooking it slowly and whisking in between.

      The tangy citrus and the sweet chocolate is the best combo! I love the salty addition with the flake salt. This is a great healthy snack or dessert.
