Satsumas dipped in dark chocolate and coconut oil and sprinkled with desiccated coconut. A healthy, low sugar snack perfect for the festive season!

Thankfully my taste buds have developed since those days and I now very much appreciate these bursts of Vitamin C on a cold and wintery day.

However trying to convince my fussy eater that they are an exciting and tasty snack is another story so I decided to spruce up the humble satsuma with my favourite ingredient….chocolate!

Sorry to mention the “C” word again when it’s still November, but I think these satsumas make the perfect snack for after school or to tackle that mid afternoon work slump.

Lets face it, we all over-indulge a little (or a lot!) in December so having some healthy and nutritious snacks to hand will help balance out all those extra Christmas treats!

Description

Satsumas dipped in chocolate and coconut oil and sprinkled with desiccated coconut. A healthy, low sugar snack for kids and adults alike!


Ingredients

  • 5 satsumas
  • 75g dark chocolate (use vegan if necessary)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tsp desiccated coconut

Instructions

  1. Peel the satsumas and separate into segments.
  2. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in a saucepan over a low heat. Stir continuously until everything has melted and is well combined. Be sure not to burn the chocolate. Remove from the heat.
  3. Dip each satsuma segment into the melted chocolate and place on a plate or baking tray. Once all the segments have been dipped, place the tray in the fridge for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
  4. Remove from the fridge and dip each segment in the chocolate a second time and then immediately sprinkle on some desiccated coconut. Return to the fridge for a further 5 minutes.
  5. These Chocolate Dipped Satsumas will keep in the fridge for a couple of days, it is best to eat them within 24 hours as they will begin to dry out.

    Oh my god, I absolutely love these!!! The chocolate goes so well with the satsumas and it’s definitely a more enticing way to eat fruit!

    I thought this was a great idea and pinned it on Pinterest. However the pin got reported and subsequently deleted. The reason given was “Whilst many copyright owners are happy to have their content on Pinterest, we recognise that some do not want their content to appear on Pinterest or want to receive attribution for the content.

      Hi Dorothy, I don’t have a problem at all with people pinning my recipes. In fact Im grateful when they do. But unfortunately another blogger has taken a lot of my recipes pins and has changed the url so that they re-direct to her site rather than mine. I reported this to pinterest but they have no taken down ALL the images of this recipe rather then just the one that the blogger was re-directing to her site. I have emailed them and hopefully they will be re-instating the valid pins shortly. Thanks!

    Here satsumas are plums. How interesting. We call these mandarins. 🙂

      We have mandarins too. Mandarins / Satsumas / Clementines are all interchangeable in the UK!
