While I was scouring in the internet in search for a new steak recipe for Mr. How Sweet, I stumbled upon this treat of chocolate dipped clementines. Um… hello brilliance?
If I’m being honest, I must tell you that I got a little overzealous with the cake batter bark back in December, resulting in an outrageous amount of unused chocolate bars. I jumped at the chance to use one in another form other than just eating it straight from the foil. For breakfast.
Plus, is this not a fun snack?!
And it’s healthy too. Fruit = healthy. Chocolate = antioxidants.
This means I ate four times the recommended amount. I need my vitamins.
These are also so fresh tasting. Juicy orange with a touch of chocolate and sea salt. Really, I just feel that I hit the snack jackpot.
Chocolate Dipped Clementines
from the food network
6 clementines, peeled and segmented (I also pulled off most pith)
1 3.5-ounce chocolate bar (I used Lindt 70% cocoa)
coarse sea salt
Lay clementine slices on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Melt chocolate in either the microwave or a double boiler (I used a double boiler). Dip half the clementine in the chocolate then sprinkle with sea salt. Continue with remaining slices.
Refrigerate for 10 minutes before serving.
You don’t even want to know how we went to town on these.

Umm I’m probably walking to the kitchen to make these now. Just saying…
Made these immediately. And they were delic! I only had oranges, but they still turned out great. Thanks Jess!
It’s so great to find someone who loves lindt as much as i do….
Yes please!
The streets are flooded with clementines this time of the year in Korea (being sold, not just rolling around on the street!)…I must make this stat!
Delicious!!! Your photography is just perfect…XoXo
Oh. My. Goodness. I have all these ingredients on hand. I guess I know what I will be making myself this afternoon to munch on!
Oh my goodness these look fabulous! I’m glad I bought a bunch of clementines the other day.
those look evil
Love it! Now I need to buy some chocolate – stat!
Wow… your pictures of those chocolate dipped clementines look AMAZING!!
Oh these are too cute and look delicious!
I don’t love clementines but I might change my tune if they were coated in delicious chocolate!
love it!! great idea
So simple and so beautiful! I think I will try these at the next cookie swap. Thank you for sharing these.
Okay, so I noticed that you bought Trader Joe’s Vanilla Extract. How do you think that compares to Nielsen-Massey’s Vanilla Extract? I don’t live near a TJ’s or Sonoma-Williams, and was wondering if maybe you have tried both?
oh what a great idea! chocolate and fruit are a great combo!
Mmm, love chocolate and orange together. I should make these since I have both clementines and oranges right now.
Okay. So I never used to be a fan of fruit mixed with chocolate! My grandmother, that raised me, used to buy the nasty chocolate orange or raspberry sticks. I remember being completely disappointed there was no caramel to be found!
Well, I have matured. Or have become more desperate! But I love chocolate on pretty much everything! ha ha And especially if I can call it healthy! This would count for one of my diet snacks.
Yum!
BTW I don’t think the chocolate sticks are nasty anymore. I just don’t go out of my way to buy them but they sure give me sweet memories of my grandmother!
I am not sure if the sea salt will be good idea.
I’ve never had a clementine…
So glad you bought loads of chocolat! These clementines slices are just divine = YUM! The sea salt makes them even better…
OMG. yum.
