Juicy orange segments are dipped in dark chocolate, then sprinkled with a mixture of salt and chili for the perfect combination of sweet, salty, and spicy. And since it’s fruit, there’s no need to feel guilty about indulging in a few slices! {At least that’s what I’m telling myself.}

Ingredients
Scale
- 1–2 oranges, peeled, segments carefully separated
- 3–4 ounces favorite dark chocolate, melted
- 1 teaspoon chili powder*
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt*
Instructions
- Prepare a sheet pan or plate by lining with a sheet of parchment paper.
- Place peeled orange segments on a paper towel to soak up excess juiciness. This will help the melted chocolate adhere better to the slices.
- In a small dish, mix together chili powder & salt.
- Dip peeled orange segments in melted chocolate, then place on parchment paper.
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with a pinch of chili-salt.
- *The measurements above are, of course, optional. You can put as much or as little chili and salt as you’d like. I found a pinch of the mixture to be just enough for a light dusting.
- Allow chocolate to set {for faster setting, place in freezer for 6-8 minutes}.
