Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 3 oranges
  • 1 bar dark chocolate
  • flakey salt

Instructions
 

  • Bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
  • Wash and thinly slice the oranges. Place the slices in the boiling water for about 2 minutes.
  • Remove the oranges from the water and place them on a wire rack.
  • Dump out the water. Bring a fresh 1 ½ cups of water and 1 ½ cups of sugar to a boil.
  • Place the orange slices in the water and reduce the heat to low.
  • Boil the orange slices for 45-50 minutes, flipping them around every 10-15 minutes.
  • Once the oranges are done, remove them from the water and place them on the cooling rack.
  • While the orange slices are cooling, melt the chocolate in the microwave.
  • Dip one half of each orange slice into the chocolate and place on a baking sheet. Transfer them to the fridge until the chocolate hardens.
  • Lastly, top them with flaky salt & enjoy!

Notes

  • If your oranges have seeds, make sure they’re removed before you begin to boil the slices.
  • Make sure to use a very sharp knife or a mandolin to slice the oranges so that they’re even and the skins don’t tear.
  • When storing the oranges, make sure there is no water or moisture in the container. Any moisture will cause the oranges to expire faster.
