Chocolate and orange are always delicious, but add gooey caramel and the result is scrumptious! Let kids help paint the leaves with candy coating for a memorable fall treat. âSimple & Delicious Test Kitchen Ingredients:
1/2 cup each yellow, green, orange and red candy coating disks |
16 to 20 small lemon, rose or mint leaves |
2-1/2 cups dark chocolate chips |
2 tablespoons shortening |
4 popsicle sticks |
4 large navel oranges, peeled |
1 package (11 ounces) kraft caramel bits |
2 tablespoons water |
Directions:
1. Place candy coatings in separate microwave-safe bowls. Heat in a microwave until melted; stir until smooth. With a small new paint brush, brush candy coating in a thin layer on the underside of each leaf. Refrigerate until set, about 10 minutes.
2. Apply a second layer of candy coating to leaves; refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or overnight. Gently peel leaves from coating.
3. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper and grease the paper; set aside. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip ends of Popsicle sticks into chocolate and insert into oranges. Let stand until chocolate is set.
4. Melt caramels and water in a microwave; stir until smooth. Dip oranges into caramel; turn to coat. Place on prepared pan and let stand until set.
5. Remelt chocolate if necessary. Dip oranges into chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Attach leaves as desired. Return to pan; refrigerate until serving. Cut with a serrated knife. Yield: 4 servings.
