A simple, indulgent way to enjoy your citrus harvest. Juicy mandarin segments dipped in rich dark chocolate and sprinkled with sea salt. Great for entertaining too. 

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 3-4 mandarins, peeled and segmented
• 100g good quality dark chocolate – we used Whittaker’s 72% Dark Ghana
• Flaky sea salt

Alternative toppings:
Roasted almonds or pistachios – finely chopped
Crystalised ginger – finely chopped
 

Method

1. Break chocolate into pieces and melt in a heatproof bowl over a pot of gently simmering water (double boiler method), or in a microwave in 20 seconds bursts, stirring between each.
2. Dip each mandarin segment halfway into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
3. Place on a baking paper lined tray
4. When still wet, sprinkle with flaky seat salt or other topping on top.
5. Refrigerate for 15 minutes until the chocolate has set.
6. Enjoy!
