Preparation
Prepare the Oranges:
Pat the orange slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This helps the chocolate adhere better.
Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Stir in the coconut oil, if desired, for a glossy finish.
Dip the Oranges:
Dip half of each orange slice into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Place the dipped slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Add Sea Salt:
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt onto the chocolate-dipped portion of each orange slice.
Chill:
Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and let the chocolate set for about 20 minutes, or until firm.
Serve:
Arrange the orange rounds on a serving platter. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
