Equipment

  • Baking tray
  • baking paper

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe oranges with thin peel - sliced thinly (circles or half-circles)
  • Raw cane sugar or maple syrup for sprinkling
  • 3.5 oz 100g 72% dark chocolate

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 380°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Arrange orange slices on the tray and sprinkle with a teaspoon of sugar or maple syrup.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until sugar is caramelized and oranges are golden-brown. Allow oranges to cool completely

For Chocolate Bark:

  • Line a second baking tray with parchment paper. Place chocolate in the center of the tray. Melt chocolate in warm oven for a few minutes
  • Spread melted chocolate into an even layer using a knife or spatula. Press cooled orange slices gently onto chocolate.
  • Refrigerate for 20 minutes until hardened. Break into pieces to serve.

For Chocolate-Dipped Oranges:

  • Melt chocolate in a double boiler. Dip half of each orange slice in chocolate and place on a tray or plate lined with baking paper. Refrigerate for 20 minutes until hardened.

Notes

  • Optional: Boil oranges in water first to reduce bitterness
  • For crunchier oranges: slice them thinly
  • For chewier texture: slice them thicker
  • Remove from refrigerator before serving
