How to Make Chocolate Dipped Clementine Hearts

Ingredients:

• 3 – 4 clementine or Mandarin oranges (peeled and sectioned).
• 6 oz. dark chocolate candy melts, dark chocolate chips, or baker’s chocolate.
• Toothpicks

Instructions:

1. After the clementines are peeled and sectioned, cut each slice as shown below so that each slice looks like a half of a heart.

2. Connect two slices with a toothpick to form a heart as shown below. Repeat with the rest of the slices.

3. Melt the dark chocolate melts according to the package instructions.

4. Using a spoon, carefully dip and coat the bottom half of each clementine heart. Set on parchment paper and allow chocolate to completely set.

5. Drizzle a small amount of the melted chocolate at the ends of the toothpicks to create an “arrow” look.

6. Serve and enjoy!

Since chocolate clementines are gluten-free, peanut-free, and dairy-free as long as you use dairy-free dark chocolate, they make great Valentine treats for kids to take to school. You can use these printable Valentine baggy toppers shown below to make cute Valentine bags for the chocolate covered orange hearts.
