Chocolate-Dipped Clementines

These cute clementine segments are the perfect dessert to enjoy with friends while you sip tea and espresso!

Makes about 54 pieces

7-8 Medium Clementines

4-ounce dark chocolate bar (60-70% cocoa), finely chopped

Sea salt

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Peel segment clementines, set aside. Gently melt chocolate in a small bowl in the microwave or over a double boiler. Working in small batches, dip segments in chocolate and transfer to parchment-lined sheet. Immediately sprinkle segments with a few grains of salt before the chocolate begins to set. Once all pieces have been dipped, set the sheet aside until chocolate hardens. To quickly harden chocolate, transfer baking sheet to the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Serve at room temperature.
