DIY – Dark Chocolate Dipped Orange Slices
Chocolate And Oranges
The indulgent taste of chocolate and the sweet, refreshing flavor of fresh oranges has been a perfect combination for ages. In many parts of Europe, orange slices are dipped in rich melted chocolate for a traditional holiday dessert. And as early as the 1930s, British candy companies began to produce the famous chocolate oranges, which combined the two flavors in an orange-shaped treat.
