Chocolate Dipped Tangerines
Ingredients
Picture this
A simple yet romantic snack, dipped in sweet chocolate with a healthy twist of juicy citrus. Is it just us, or do chocolate dipped tangerines give you that warm and fuzzy feeling too?
Not only will these chocolate dipped tangerines put a smile on your face, but they provide great health benefits, too. Tangerines contain Folate, which helps the body produce red blood cells. (Folate is especially important during pregnancy, as it can prevent some types of birth defects.) Tangerines also have Thiamine, which can help prevent digestive issues, boost the immune system, and prevent tons of different types of diseases. Not to mention the amount of Vitamin C tangerines contain, too. Now if all that doesn’t say “I love you”, we don’t know what does!
Instructions
1. Peel the tangerines and segment. Remove extra pith to give a cleaner look.
2. Melt the chocolate chips using a double broiler over low heat. When the chocolate begins to melt, stir gently until all the chips are melted.
3. Immediately dip half the tangerine segments into the chocolate and lay on parchment paper. Once they are dipped in the chocolate, sprinkle over the toppings of your choice (or leave them plain).
4. Refrigerate for 10 minutes before serving.
