Make Chocolate Orange Faces
If you ask us, fruit should be cute! That's why we created these cute-as-a-button chocolate orange faces. They're easy to make and a great a cooking project for kids to be involved with. Get to it!

What you’ll need:
- Oranges (we used organic oranges, as we like to nibble the rind! If you’d prefer yours without rind, just peel off the orange skin before you slice them up.)
- Sharp knife
- 100g / 3.5oz melted dark chocolate (this will be enough for 2 or more oranges)
- Small deep bowl
- Piping bag
How to make chocolate orange faces:
- Wash and slice oranges into 0.5cm / 0.2" thick slices. Place them on a clean tea towel to help them dry off a bit (this will help the chocolate stick to oranges).
- Melt chocolate in a small, deep bowl.
- Have a baking tray or board ready. Dip oranges into chocolate and place onto the tray. You can make different hairstyles for each face!
- Pipe chocolate dots or little curves for eyes, a smile and any other face details.
- Give oranges a quick blast in the fridge to help the chocolate harden. If it’s a hot day, store them in the fridge until you’re ready to eat.

Why Food Education for Kids Matters
Good news! Food education doesn't need to be boring. Instead, it can be fun, a little bit grubby and involve community.
The good folks at the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation chat with us about why food education matters and how it can make a life-long impact.
