How can you make a sweet and juicy California tangerine even better? I say, cover it in dark chocolate and sea salt!
The combination is out of this world and is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth in a healthy way.
It’s also a clever method to get your kids excited about working fruits into their diet. I made these fun “tangerine pops” and they loved them!
Here’s the easy recipe:
- California tangerines
- Dark chocolate chips
- Coconut oil (or traditional shortening)
- Sea salt
Add the chocolate chips and the coconut oil to a double boiler, or just use a metal bowl over a pot of boiling water. Melt over medium heat until thoroughly melted.
Ratio is 4:1, so every cup of chocolate chips, you should use 1/4 cup of coconut oil.
Peel and separate the tangerine into sections
Dip each section into the melted chocolate, leaving a portion uncovered for easy eating
Sprinkle the sea salt over each chocolate section before the chocolate cools. Place in the refrigerator until the chocolate is set
Serve individually, or pierce with a skewer and serve as “pops”!
