Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces dark chocolate (at least 70% cacao)
- 3 large clementines
Instructions
- Peel the clementines and separate them into individual segments.
- Pat the clementine segments completely dry with a paper towel. This step helps the chocolate adhere better.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until smooth.
- Dip each clementine segment halfway into the melted chocolate.
- Place the dipped segments onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature, or place the tray in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to speed up the process.
- Serve and enjoy your sweet and tangy creation!
Notes
- Ensure the clementine segments are very dry; any moisture will cause the chocolate to seize.
- You can sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt over the chocolate before it sets for an extra flavor boost.
- If you prefer a thinner coating, add a teaspoon of coconut oil to the chocolate while melting.
