These kids can scream!

Especially when they are answering the questions of :
"Do you like clementines? (the little oranges - you know.)"
"Do you like chocolate?"

I was getting the Casa Alba orphanage children pumped up for our very fun snack making time Saturday morning. Each kid got 2 clementines. 1 to eat right away and 1 to make into the activity snack. Take off the peel of the clementine and separate each section. Melt your favorite chocolate (I bought a middle of the road brand Romanian milk chocolate bar) in the microwave and let it cool enough to not burn the child during dipping : ) Prepare an additional bowl with grated coconut. Dip half of the clementine slice into the chocolate, then the same end into the coconut and then directly onto waxed paper. Stick it into the fridge until cool and hardened.
They taste awesome. Even better than how they tasted was the joy in doing these with the kids. Every single one of them could make these fun orange slices and they looked like professionals had made every one!
Even the staff was asking about "the recipe" details so they could make them at home...
Here's the official recipe : Clementine Bon Bons
