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.
