These chocolate covered oranges are such a great, sweet snack. They’re juicy and topped with just a pinch of salt.
This recipe is, well, frankly not a recipe. It’s just three ingredeints! How cool is that! Imagine yourself enjoying the sweet soft citrus and little bit salty oranges with your family and watching your favorite movie on TV while lazing around on the couch. 
When I was taking pictures of the chocolate oranges, I was tempted to try taking some random pictures of all the citrus I had at home. I just fell in love with all the gorgeous and photogenic colors of these natural beauties.
