Chocolate Dipped Tangerines/Oranges/Clementines

Made up a beautiful and nutritious platter of dipped fruit yesterday to bring to my spin class this morning…thought I’d share the recipe for the dipped citrus…very different and yummie!!!

6 Tangerines or Oranges or Clementines, peeled and segmented

1 3.5 ounce chocolate bar (use good quality)

Coarse Sea Salt

Melt chocolate in a double boiler or add the chocolate to a stainless steel mixing bowl and place it over a pan of boiling water until melted.  Dip half the oranges segments in the chocolate.  Sprinkle with sea salt and place on a sheet of waxed paper until chocolate hardens.

You can also use strawberries and white chocolate, however don’t add the salt on the strawberries….enjoy!
