Get ready for a delightful pop of juicy bright flavor when you bite into these little morsels. So easy to make, yet they seem so sophisticated! Paleo and gluten-free.
This is such a simple and elegant dessert. Its just bursting with fresh juices and chocolate. They just make my tastebuds dance and sing.

Ingredients in these chocolate covered oranges (and substitutions)
- Chocolate Bar: loaded with antioxidants and healthy fats. I prefer an 80% cacao bar, but feel free to use your favorite chocolate bar here.
- Mandarin: loaded with vitamin C and juices, these make the dessert exotic. Feel free to substitute with tangerine or orange slices.
How to make this easy dessert
- Break the chocolate into pieces and put into the microwave for about 45 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds to prevent burning. (Alternatively you can melt in a pan on the stove over low heat, stirring frequently.)
- Peel the oranges.
- Once the chocolate is melted, dip the oranges into the chocolate and lay on a piece of parchment paper to harden. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
