    A Nourishing Snack. Blueberries are powerful antioxidants which are useful for fighting disease and rebuilding cells from use and aging. Dark chocolate covered blueberries are even higher in antioxidants.

    Recipe Tips

    Scale the recipe. You can double or triple the recipe easily. A general ratio of ingredients is 2 parts blueberries and 1 part chocolate.

    Make a chocolate covered blueberry bark. Instead of creating individual clusters, pour the melted chocolate berry mixture into a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes to set.

    Buy fresh blueberries organic. Also, blueberries should be bought organic because they tend to absorb loads of pesticides. Read more on the Ewg.org.

    Using Fresh Blueberries vs. Dried blueberries. Fresh berries are more available, cheaper in season, low in sugar. Whereas dried blueberries will create a chewier bite, can be stored longer, and are similar to raisins.

    Variations

    To the melted chocolate mixture, add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, or ½ teaspoons of extracts with flavor such as mint or orange, or even 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to create a shine to the chocolate.

    Mix in chia seeds, hemp seeds or even puffed quinoa for an extra crunch.

    Add whipped cashew cream along with the berries.

    FAQS

    Are these chocolate covered blueberries healthy?

    Yes, dark chocolate blueberries are healthy because the berries provide fiber and essential nutrients, while the dark chocolate is filled with antioxidants, iron, magnesium and more.

    Can I use frozen blueberries in this chocolate blueberry recipe?

    No you can't coat frozen blueberries with chocolate and expect the same result as with coating fresh berries. That is because frozen blueberries will collapse and inject water into the chocolate, causing it to seize and basically make a mess.

    How can I melt the chocolate if I don't have a microwave?

    Yes, you can add the chocolate to a pyrex or heat-safe cup or bowl and either put it in a pot of boiling water (don't let water hit chocolate), or set it in the oven at 350 F.

    Notes

    Storage. These clusters last 3 days in a sealed container at room temperature, then refrigerate after that for a week. They can be frozen for three months.
    Dry blueberries. Be sure to rinse your blueberries and let them dry ahead of time. I do it the night before and let them sit out spread on a pan at room temperature overnight.
