It’s funny how sometimes I see a recipe and I mark it as a *must try*. Then there is other times that I see a recipe, and I get up and make it immediately. That was the case when I saw these Chocolate Dipped Clementines over at Jessica’s blog.
I knew I had to make them right then and there!
In fact, I made these bad boys twice in two days. Although through no fault of my own, these fresh and easy little munchies just seemed to disappear.
Just three ingredients!
Clementine oranges.
Dark Chocolate.
And some course sea salt.
I know a lot of you are freezing in you neck of the woods but here in California, it’s been beautiful.
I made the first batch to take to the races on Saturday. But it was too warm of a day, and I knew they would melt.
They got eaten at home. The kids loved them.
The second batch I took with me over to a friends. It was a beautiful evening and the girls were getting together for an evening of bonding.
And a bonfire!
Check out the new fire pit my friend Donna got for Christmas.
Pretty dang nice, huh?
Sooo,
Good company,
Fine wine,
and chocolate Dipped Clementines.
That’s what makes my world go around!

Oh, I am going to *have* to make some of these!
Awesome idea! I definitely need to make these! Orange and chocolate is one of my favorite combos!
One of my weaknesses is chocolate covered fruit, and oranges are on the top of the list, especially candied oranges covered in chocolate. Now, about that bonfire, is that your back yard? Because I want a huge bonfire pit just like that in my backyard!
I LOVE the bonfire pit. We have one that my mom gave us and have really enjoyed it. As for the CDCs, these “little cuties” will definitely be on my Superbowl Buffet! Most excellent.
P.S. Sorry I missed the Wine, Firepit and a taste of your CDCs!
It’s neat that you made a salty sweet combo with these. My friend introduced me to dipping them in soy sauce and vinegar, which was weird, but strangely delicious. I think your chocolate and sea salt idea, however, would be more appealing to others. By the way, I’m starting a new linky party this Saturday on my blog called “Sweets for a Saturday.” Feel free to come by then and link these up.
so strange, but yet I bet so delicious!
I bet my kids would go crazy for these
Love this idea! I always look forward to the day Clementines start arriving in the stores here. What a great new way to enjoy them!
Oh, these look so wonderful! We are going to have to give them a try.
I saw these on Jessica’s site. I still need to make them!
This is a fabulous idea! It feels like eating healthy and having dessert all at the same time!
I love dipping fruits in chocolate. Clementines are perfect for that.
I saw these on Jessica’s blog, and I marked them as a must-make. I will definitely have to make these now that you have made them, too. Yum!
OK, I just made these and WOW! Taking them to a friend’s house tomorrow while she recovers from a radical hysterectomy. It will be her bon-bons for her afternoon TV.
Thanks! They are lovely and oh so tasty!
Oooo I must make these!!! Perfect little bites for snacking and dessert! Citrus never had it so good…
These look so YUM, but I have a question: How do you keep the un-dipped end from drying out? Do they need to be eaten right away?
Hi Erika,
The first batch that I made of these, I forgot about covering them up and they were just sitting in the fridge, uncovered and they were still fine the next morning. I got lucky and they didn’t dry out but I should have put them in Tupperware or a zip lock baggy. I would suggest eating them the day you dip them but they will last until the next day. I must say,they wont last long enough to really worry about them drying out.
Brilliant, Megan! Our tangerine trees have the very last of this year’s fruit on them now, and this is such a fabulous way to use it up. I’m bookmarking this recipe to use for home made gift giving next Christmas.
Beautiful! And a favorite flavor combo, for sure!
The is just brilliant. I never tried to make those babies before but now I am really tempted to do so. I bet the flavour was out of this world. Choclate and fruits? Very yummy.
ok YUMMM what a fun idea, and by a campfire… even better!
What an easy and elegant dessert or snack idea! They look just so yummy I could pluck one off the screen. I’ll have to steal this idea for my next dinner party. I’m so glad I found your blog and look forward to seeing more!

Ooh as we say in the UK using phrase from a vintage TV ad, these are “naughty but nice”. I’m not sure I could keep my hands off the clementine segments long enough though?! Possibly with the temptation of chocolate…
Those look delicious! But really, it’s January. I don’t want to hear about how it’s so warm where you live that the chocolate will melt!
I love clementines so I’d be all about these! And that fire pit is awesome!
What a great idea and the photos are fabulous. Step aside strawberries!
LOVE LOVE these. They are gorgeous. So simple but what a great dessert. Also your fire pit is awesome
Love this!! I dipped some clementines for the first time on valentines day…but not in dark Choc & not with sea salt!!!
Loving that fire pit too!
oh my!! you had me at oranges with salt. I remember being a kid and putting salt on my oranges. Adding chocolate!? Yummmmm. SO trying this one! Thanks for sharing!
These look fabulous, Megan. I’ve got to give them a try for my holiday parties!
