Fruity, festive and delicious too – our clementine chocolates have all the flavours of your favourite chocolate orange with a posh finish.

These clementine chocolates are so easy to make and super satisfying too.

Our clementine chocolates are made using dark chocolate but you could use a combination of dark, milk or white chocolate if you prefer. We decorated the chocolates with freeze-dried raspberries and some bronze crunch but you could opt for crushed biscuit, honeycomb, or chopped nuts too.

Method

Peel and segment the clementines, being sure to remove as much of the white pith as possible.
Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of boiling water, also known as a bain marie. You can also melt the chocolate in short bursts in the microwave. If making with children, adults should supervise this as the steam can be very hot.
Dip each clementine segment into the chocolate and then scatter over the raspberries or bronze crunch. You can alternate to get an even selection. You can use a skewer or spoon to get a full coating. Place the chocolate-coated clementine segments on baking parchment to set. This could take a few hours so it’s best to make them ahead of time. Alternatively, you could serve the chocolate in the middle of the table with the clementine as a quick chocolate fondue.
