Ingredients
3 organic oranges
400 g granulated sugar
400 ml water
La Vida Vegan dark chocolate spread
Sea salt
The instructions
- Cut the oranges into 1 cm slices and remove any seeds.
- Put the granulated sugar and water in a wide, large skillet. Bring to a boil and stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the orange slices to the skillet and place them in an even layer. Bring to a boil again.
- Simmer uncovered for about 1 hour or until the orange slices become transparent.
- Place the candied orange slices on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Let them dry uncovered for at least 24 hours. They will still feel a little sticky, but that is normal.
- Melt the La Vida Vegan dark chocolate spread in a microwave-safe bowl for 10-15 seconds on the highest setting or au bain-marie.
- Dip half of an orange slice into the melted chocolate and place it back on the baking sheet to stiffen.
Repeat this process with all the orange slices.
Sprinkle with a little sea salt, if necessary, for an extra dimension of flavor.
Wait about 15 minutes for the chocolate to harden before serving the orange slices.
