Chocolate-Dipped Orange Slices

1. Prepare the Oranges: Wash and dry the oranges thoroughly to remove any residue from the peel. Using a sharp knife, slice the oranges into thin rounds about ¼ inch thick. Try to keep the slices uniform so they set evenly.
2. Remove Excess Moisture: Lay the orange slices on a paper towel and gently pat the tops dry. This step is important, as excess moisture can prevent the chocolate from adhering smoothly.
3. Melt the Chocolate: Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil, if using, into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well between each round, until the chocolate is fully melted, smooth, and glossy. Take care not to overheat.
