Sugar Free Chocolate Covered Sumo Citrus

Curb your sweet tooth with chocolate covered sumo citrus!

If you’ve been following me for awhile you know that I have a massive sweet tooth. I like to have a breakfast, lunch and dinner dessert. I know eating a cookie or brownie 3 times a day isn’t healthy so I like to come up with some healthier sweet treats! Ever since sumo citrus came into season a few weeks ago, I have been making these sugar free dark chocolate covered sumo citrus slices!

What is sumo citrus?

Sumo citrus is essentially a massive mandarin orange. They are easy to peel, don’t have seeds and are super delicious. I have been buying them in bulk at Trader Joe’s – they are just the best! Plus, it’s important to get all the vitamin c!

What you need to make dark chocolate covered sumo citrus

All you need to make this yummy dessert is chocolate and sumo citrus. I used the new sugar free chocolate chips from Trader Joe’s but you can use any chocolate you desire! The bitterness of the sugar free dark chocolate balanced really well with the super sweet citrus. I also coated mine with flakey sea salt (Jacobsen Sea Salt is the best, it’s all we use). What you need:

• chocolate chips (any type you’d like! – I loved the sugar free dark chocolate. Beware, it’s bitter)
• sumo citrus
• optional: flakey sea salt

How to make these chocolate covered sumo citrus

This dessert is done in 4 easy steps

1. Melt chocolate in double boiler
2. Peel sumo citrus and dip each slice half way into melted chocolate
3. Lay on parchment paper and top with sea salt, if desired
4. Let chocolate harden
5. Enjoy!

I keep mine in an air tight container in the refrigerator. Mine have only lasted me a few days but I’d assume they will last at least 5 days.
