Wash the orange thoroughly under running water and cut it into thin slices (no more than ¼ inch/0.5 cm).
In a large wide-bottomed pot heat the water and sugar until the sugar has dissolved. Add the orange slices and spread them around making sure they don’t cover each other completely, if possible (they will shrink slightly during simmering so don’t worry if they are overlapping a bit).
Simmer on low heat for 40 minutes, turning them occasionally. When ready, transfer the slices onto a wire rack and let them cool completely. To speed up the cooling process you can place them in the fridge for 10-15 minutes (or 10 mins fridge + 5 mins freezer).
To cover the slices in chocolate: Melt the chocolate over a pot of simmering water. Dip half of each slice in chocolate and place them onto a tray/chopping board lined with a sheet of aluminum foil.
Optional: Sprinkle with salt.
Transfer them to the fridge or leave in a cool place until they harden completely. This will take about an hour.
