Chocolate Dipped Orange

Christmas is only 7 days away! Are you excited? Can you feel my excitement? If not, it's ok, I live in the hills of Kentucky..so I'm sorta in the middle of nowhere I suppose. I'm swamped with oranges right now. We decided to buy a "small" box of oranges from the local high school agriculture class. I'm excited about all these oranges, and making lots of awesome things with them ( other than just eating them the usual way). Then yesterday I had the idea for these chocolate dipped oranges, they're amazing, sweet, and kinda healthy ( it's still fruit even if it's coated in chocolate) . I was planning to make them an exclusive cookbook thing, but since they're so simple, and Christmas is coming, and I have 2 other exclusive recipes to add there, these could be shared. It didn't take me 20 minutes to make these, so it's a fast dessert for entertaining company.

Shall I also tell you they're vegan? Yep. The recipe is below. Remember to try to use Organic!
