Introducing American nutritionist’ Joy Bauer’s chocolate-dipped clementines! But before indulging, let’s delve into what sets clementines apart. These petite citrus wonders are a specific variety of Mandarin oranges cherished for their vibrant flavour and effortless peeling. An ideal finger food for catering and even a healthy vitamin C treat with coffee or liqueurs in a restaurant.
Unlike their larger Mandarin counterparts, clementines are compact, making them ideal for on-the-go snacking. They are sweet, (typically) seedless, and filled with vitamin C. This recipe takes the mini oranges to a whole new level of deliciousness because, well, that’s what chocolate does to just about everything! This treat is simple, scrumptious and sure to spark joy in every juicy bite.
Ingredients
- 2 clementines, peeled and segmented
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips, melted
- optional sea salt
Preparation
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
