Servings: 3 slices
Calories: 50kcal
Equipment
- Double boiler Or microwave
- Parchment paper Silicone sheets will work as well.
Ingredients
- Dried orange slices.
- Dipping chocolate. I used the Wilton Brand , but any dipping chocolate wafer will work fine and be convenient. You can use chocolate chips as well. You can use milk chocolate or dark chocolate or white chocolate. It's all what you prefer.
- Sprinkles: You can use flaky sea salt salt , chunky sugar crystals, finely ground nuts such as pecans or pistachios, etc.
Instructions
- Please review these full directions on how to dehydrate oranges. Quick instructions: slice less than 1/4", dry at 125°/52° for up to three days, or place into an oven at the lowest possible temp (below 125F helps retain the pretty color) and dry until they break easily.
- Melt chocolate per directions on package. Use a double boiler on your stovetop or a microwave.
- Dip 1/2 of a dried orange slice in chocolate.
- Sprinkle topping if desired.
- Place onto parchment or silicone-lined baking sheet to dry and harden (I gave it an hour).
- Place into an airtight container for storage.
Notes
- Cook time in the instructions is actual drying time after dipping.
- Plan ahead if making these for gifts. Drying oranges can take a couple of days depending on your dehydrator.
- Store in an airtight container until ready to package and give as gifts.
