The good news is that these fall on the healthier side of dessert plus you get a nice little dose of vitamin C. Not bad right?

My Tiny Love and I had so much fun making these. She helped me peel all of the mandarins and had the best time. She didn’t do any of the chocolate dipping, honestly she wasn’t interested … peeling the oranges was more fun to her. But she did love stirring the chocolate. She loves helping me in the kitchen.

Ingredients

For the Mandarins:

  • 12 organic mandarin oranges
  • Optional Celtic sea salt or sea salt flakes for sprinkling over melted chocolate (<-- this is my favorite sea salt)

For a Chocolate Coating - WITH chocolate chips:

For a Chocolate Coating - WITHOUT chocolate chips:

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper. Place it in the freezer to chill while you prepare everything.
  2. Wash and peel all of the mandarin oranges. Separate mandarins into segments. Set aside.

Chocolate Coating WITH Chocolate Chips:

  1. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add chocolate chips, healthy fat of choice and sea salt and allow to melt - stirring often. Remove from heat as soon as chocolate chips are melted.

Chocolate Coating WITHOUT Chocolate Chips:

  1. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add cacao butter and allow to melt - about 2 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and add cacao powder, honey and sea salt, whisking until fully incorporated and forms a syrup.

How To:

  1. Dip each mandarin orange segment halfway into the melted chocolate and place on the lined baking sheet. If you're using sea salt, lightly sprinkle a few grains of salt over the melted chocolate.
  2. Immediately return the chocolate dipped mandarins on the baking sheet to the freezer. Allow to chill for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

YOU WILL NEED: Unbleached Parchment Paper, Baking Sheet {that can be placed in the freezer}, Small Saucepan 

  • Store extra chocolate dipped mandarin oranges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. You can also store them in the freezer - my family actually prefers them this way. It's a fun little bite when they're frozen.
