Is it just us, or do chocolate dipped tangerines give you that warm and fuzzy feeling? Maybe because it’s such a simple yet romantic snack. Maybe you\u2019re looking for a healthier alternative to the traditional Valentine\u2019s Day chocolates. Or maybe a healthier alternative<\/a> to those cookies you\u2019ve been giving your family. Whatever the occasion, these delectable treats are a must-make in our book!<\/p>\n

These chocolate dipped tangerines won\u2019t only put a smile on someone\u2019s face, but will provide some great health benefits<\/a>, too. Oranges contain Folate, which helps the body produce red blood cells, and is especially important during pregnancy, as it can prevent some types of birth defects. Oranges also have Thiamine, which can help prevent digestive issues, boost the immune system, and prevent tons of different types of diseases. Not to mention the amount of Vitamin C oranges have, too. Now if all that doesn\u2019t say \u201cI love you\u201d, we don\u2019t know what does!\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
