Description

Chocolate Orange Sticks are a delightful and easy-to-make treat featuring fresh orange segments dipped in smooth melted semisweet chocolate. Enhanced with a touch of coconut oil for silky texture and optionally sprinkled with sea salt, these snacks offer a perfect balance of zesty citrus and rich chocolate, ideal for gifting or enjoying as a refreshing dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 2 large oranges, peeled and cut into wedges or sticks

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (or dark chocolate chips)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoothness)

Optional Garnish

  • Sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oranges: Peel the oranges carefully and cut them into wedges or sticks as preferred. Remove any excess pith from the pieces to ensure a clean and appealing presentation.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: Place the semisweet chocolate chips along with the coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each interval until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  3. Dip the Orange Sticks: Hold each orange stick by one end and dip it halfway into the melted chocolate. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the stick onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Add Toppings: While the chocolate coating is still wet, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top if desired to enhance flavor with a subtle salty contrast.
  5. Chill to Set: Transfer the prepared baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating becomes firm and set.
  6. Serve: Once the chocolate is firm, serve the Chocolate Orange Sticks immediately or package them nicely as gifts for friends and family.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe oranges for the best flavor and juiciness.
  • Dark chocolate can be substituted for semisweet chocolate for a richer taste.
  • Coconut oil helps achieve a smoother chocolate coating but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • Store leftover sticks in the refrigerator to keep the chocolate from melting.
  • For crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts instead of sea salt before chilling.
