2-Point Chocolate Covered Oranges

Chocolate Covered Oranges are a delicious treat, and you can make them with minimal points on the WW (formerly Weight Watchers) program. If you’re aiming for a 2-point version, you’ll need to balance the chocolate with a small serving size while keeping the points low.

Here’s a simple, tasty recipe for 2-Point Chocolate Covered Oranges:

2-Point Chocolate Covered Oranges

Ingredients:

• 1 medium orange (cut into wedges)
• 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips or mini chips (about 10-12 chips)
• 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, to help smooth the chocolate)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oranges: Peel and cut the orange into wedges, removing any seeds. You can use any type of orange, but navel oranges work great for this.
2. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and the coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
3. Dip the Orange Wedges: Dip each orange wedge halfway into the melted chocolate. Place them on a parchment-lined tray or plate to set.
4. Chill: Place the tray or plate in the fridge for 10-15 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened.
5. Serve & Enjoy: Once the chocolate has set, your chocolate-covered oranges are ready to enjoy!

Points Breakdown:

• 1 medium orange: Zero points (fruits are typically zero points on WW).
• 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips: 2 points (this is based on dark chocolate chips being 2 points for 1 tablespoon).
• 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil (optional): Zero points (used for smoothing, but you can skip it for fewer points).

Total Points: 2 points for one serving (1 medium orange and 1 tablespoon of chocolate).

Tips:

• If you want to reduce the points even further, you can use fewer chocolate chips. For example, using just 7-8 chips could bring the points to 1.
• You can also experiment with sugar-free chocolate chips to lower the points, but make sure to check the points for the specific brand you’re using.

This is a quick, satisfying treat to curb your sweet tooth while keeping your points in check! Do you think this would hit the spot for you? Let me know if you’d like any other variations!
