Prepare the Orange Sticks:

1. Peel the Oranges:
   • Cut the oranges into quarters and gently remove the peel, including as much of the white pith as possible. Slice the peels into thin strips (about 1/4-inch wide).
2. Blanch the Peels:
   • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the orange strips and boil for 2 minutes. Drain and repeat this process 2 more times to remove bitterness.
3. Simmer in Syrup:
   • In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Add the orange strips and simmer for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peels are translucent.
4. Dry the Orange Sticks:
   • Remove the orange peels from the syrup with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack set over parchment paper. Let them dry at room temperature for 4-6 hours or overnight.

Coat with Chocolate:

5. Melt the Chocolate:
   • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy.
6. Dip the Orange Sticks:
   • Dip each orange stick halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off. Place the dipped sticks on parchment paper to set.
7. Set and Serve:
   • Let the chocolate harden at room temperature, or refrigerate for faster setting. Store in an airtight container.
