Chocolate covered oranges!

Chocolate Covered Oranges!

Looking for a yummy snack that you don't have to feel so guilty about eating or giving to your kids? This is it! 

For Valentine's day I was making these delicious peanut butter eggs for my family as a special Valentine treat and had chocolate left over so I decided to peel a mandarin orange and dip it in there. My family ended up loving it so much that now I make them often. They are so easy, quick, and Delicious!

Here's what you need:

1. 3 mandarin oranges

2. 1 cup chocolate chips (I use Ghirardelli semi-sweet)

3. 2tsp coconut oil

4. Cookie sheet covered with wax paper

Prepare:

Step 1:

Start by peeling your oranges, set aside.

Step 2:

Put your chocolate chips and coconut oil in a pan and put it on low to med heat. If you put it too high you might burn your chocolate. Stir often.

Step 3:

Put wax paper on your cookie sheet or plate while your chocolate is melting. Continue to stir chocolate until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.

Step 4:

Drop your orange slices in chocolate a few at a time, making sure to coat the whole slice in chocolate. I use a fork to get underneath the orange and scoop up (do not stab the orange). Tap on side of pan a couple times to get the excess chocolate off, then place on cookie sheet.

Step 5:

Repeat step 4 until all slices are covered. Place cookie sheet in freezer for about 15 minutes, just enough for the chocolate to harden. Remove from the wax paper and store in covered container for up to a week in the fridge (though they probably won't last that long!).

Sit back and enjoy the deliciousness you just created!

Hope you like this quick and easy treat, and enjoy devouring them as much as my family does!
