Caramelized Oranges Dessert recipe:
1. Wash the oranges thoroughly and slice them into ¼-inch (0.5 cm) rounds without peeling.
2. Add half of the sugar to a saucepan, layer the orange slices over it, and sprinkle the remaining sugar on top.
3. Pour the water into the pan and place it on the stove over low heat.
4. Cook the oranges for 1.5 to 2 hours on low heat until the peels become translucent.
5. Remove the orange slices from the syrup, drain them, and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Preheat your oven to 230°F (110°C). Dry the orange slices for about 20 minutes, then let them cool.

8. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
