Chocolate Covered Oranges

The combination of sweet and zesty oranges, smooth chocolate, and a sprinkle of sea salt makes for a delightful treat. Chocolate-covered oranges are sweet, rich, and super simple to make. I like chocolate oranges better than chocolate strawberries and that is saying something. They are a healthy dessert that is gluten-free, dairy-free, and takes just minutes to make. I think they also taste great frozen if you want to pop them in the freezer until frozen.
