Chocolate Orange Wedges are the perfect snack to make with your children after school, or the cutest healthy dessert to serve on your holiday dessert stand!  Bonus: you only need 4 ingredients and 5 minutes to assemble!  Easy enough for children to make, delicious enough for adults to be impressed 😊

Serves: 4-6

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 0 minutes

What (your ingredients):

1 navel orange

1/3 cup dark chocolate chips

Pinch of cayenne (optional)

Sea salt or Himalayan pink salt

How (your directions):

Peel the navel orange, then divide orange into individual wedges.  Place orange wedges on plate or serving platter.  Blot dry as needed (chocolate sticks better to a dry surface).

Melt dark chocolate in a small glass bowl over steaming water.

Once chocolate is melted, add a pinch of cayenne pepper, if using.  Dip each orange wedge halfway into dark chocolate and let excess chocolate drip off.

Repeat with all orange wedges, then sprinkle a pinch of salt over the chocolate before the chocolate hardens.

Enjoy!

Why (the science):  Citrus fruits, like oranges, help your body absorb iron better!
