Sweet Chocolate Blood Orange Slices
When it is the season, this dessert or quick snack is totally insane because of the orange twist and the chocolate ! A must try : you can not believe that it's healthy. And it works well as a gift.

Instructions
ORANGE SLICES
- Preheat the oven 165 °C (fan).

- Remove them from the oven and let it dry for 10 minutes. Place them in the fridge for about 1 hour.
COATING
- Place the raw cacao, coconut oil, vanilla extract and maple syrup in a mixing bowl and melt over boiling water, bain-marie style. Mix well until melted and set aside.
- Dip the orange slices halfway into the chocolate. Lay them down flat on a piece of parchment paper (over a dinner plate).
- Top with salt flakes and cacao nibs.
- Transfer to the fridge to set for about 60 min.
- You can keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for 1 to 2 weeks.
