Oranges in chocolate
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I suggest you try this very interesting recipe for a fragrant sweet treat! Preparing this dessert is easy, and the result is beautiful, vibrant, and sunny. Even slightly sour oranges work well for this dessert, as they are cooked in sugar syrup during preparation, which helps them develop the desired sweetness. I recommend using bitter chocolate to balance the sweetness of the oranges. Serve chilled.

4. Next, melt the chocolate in a double boiler until smooth, then dip the oranges into it (I dip them halfway). Place the slightly dried oranges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let the chocolate set (about 1-2 hours).
