1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

2. Slice oranges into 1/4-inch rounds. Remove any seeds.

3. In a wide skillet, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar.

4. Add orange slices in a single layer. Simmer gently for 1 hour until translucent.

5. Remove slices and place on parchment. Let dry uncovered for 24 hours.

6. Melt chocolate in microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth.

7. Dip each orange slice halfway in chocolate. Let excess drip off.

8. Place dipped slices back on parchment. Sprinkle sea salt if using.

9. Let set for 15 minutes until chocolate hardens.

Use a wide skillet to avoid overlapping slices.

Dry slices fully before dipping to ensure chocolate sticks.

You can freeze them after chocolate sets for long-term storage.
