Chocolate Covered Oranges
Servings 8 servings (about 5 slices each)
With refreshing clementine on the inside and a crisp bite of rich chocolate on the outside, these easy chocolate covered oranges are the perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors. They're also extremely easy to make and are ready in just a few minutes. Perfect for holiday entertaining or anytime you want a sweet snack! {Gluten-free & vegetarian}
Ingredients
- 4 clementines, peeled and separated into slices
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips, melted (I used 50% cocoa)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Separate clementines into slices, removing any of the white stringy pieces.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30 second increments until chocolate is melted, stirring between each time interval.
- One at a time, dip each of the clementines into the melted chocolate until approximately one third to one half of the slice is covered. Place on the parchment paper and sprinkle with some chopped pistachios until the chocolate portion is lightly covered. Continue until all of the slices have been completed.
- Place the parchment lined baking sheet in the fridge until the chocolate has fully hardened, approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Eat immediately, or store in a covered container in the fridge to prevent the clementines from drying out.
Notes
- If you won't be eating the chocolate dipped clementines right away, be sure to store them in an airtight container to prevent them from drying out.
- Don't microwave the chocolate for too long, or it may burn. It's important to check it every 30 seconds and stir it until smooth and creamy. I only needed to microwave mine for one minute total.
