To make the crust: Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Spread coconut chips on a baking sheet in a single layer and toast until fragrant and dark brown, about 15 minutes; let cool completely. Place the first eight ingredients into a Vitamix blender or a food processor and pulse to combine. With the blender running, drizzle in the melted coconut oil until the mixture is moistened and starts to gather into a ball. Squeeze a little between your fingers to see if it can be pressed. If too dry, add more oil. Using your hands, spread evenly on bottom and up sides to fill an 11 x 8-inch rectangular tart shell. Chill until firm, about 15-20 minutes.2. To make the ganache: Place the first 5 ingredients into the blender and pulse until thoroughly combined. In a double boiler, heat chocolate, stirring occasionally, until melted. With the blender running, drizzle in the chocolate until incorporated. Add a few drops of orange essential oil; blend. Pour all at once into crust, filling 3/4 full. Let set 15 minutes at room temperature, and then refrigerate until firm, about an hour.3. Arrange mandarin sections over ganache, covering completely. Drizzle the leftover ganache over mandarins. Chill briefly to set.Serves 16
