These dark chocolate-dipped candied orange slices are a quick and easy treat made with just four ingredients. They’re perfect for gifting or enjoying as a sophisticated sweet snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large oranges (organic recommended)
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ cups (355ml) water
  • 8 oz (225g) dark chocolate (70% cacao, bar not chips)
  • Flaky sea salt (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Wash oranges thoroughly and slice into ¼-inch thick rounds. Discard ends and remove any seeds.
  2. In a tall saucepan, combine sugar and water. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves completely (3-4 minutes).
  3. Add orange slices in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Simmer gently for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until peels are translucent and pith is soft.
  4. Transfer slices to a wire rack using tongs. Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes until tacky.
  5. Chop dark chocolate into small pieces. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring after each, until mostly melted. Stir until smooth.
  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dip each orange slice halfway into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place on parchment.
  7. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt immediately if desired. Let chocolate set at room temperature for 1-2 hours.
  8. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Leftover syrup can be used to sweeten tea, yogurt, or cakes. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. For best texture, don’t refrigerate the finished slices.
