Equipment

  • 1 large microwave safe bowl
  • 1 spoon or flexible spatula
  • 1 small cookie scoop (1 tbsp, 15 ml) optional

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (6 oz.) fresh or freeze dried blueberries
  • ½ - ¾ cup (3 oz. - 4.5 oz) dark, milk or white chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil, optional

Instructions
 

Fresh Chocolate Covered Blueberries

  • Wash and pat dry the fresh blueberries.
    1 cup (6 oz.) fresh or freeze dried blueberries
  • Pour the dark or milk chocolate and coconut oil into a large microwave safe bowl. Heat in 30 second increments in the microwave until the chocolate is fully melted. Stir the chocolate in between each increment. 
    ½ - ¾ cup (3 oz. - 4.5 oz) dark, milk or white chocolate, 1 teaspoon coconut oil, optional
  • Once the chocolate has melted pour the clean and dried blueberries into the melted chocolate. Gently mix the berries in the chocolate until all the berries are fully coated in the melted dark or milk chocolate.
  • Use a small, tablespoon sized cookie scoop or spoon to transfer clusters of chocolate covered blueberries onto a lined baking sheet or plate. If you prefer to have individual blueberries coated in chocolate, simply scoop one berry at a time onto a line baking sheet or plate.
  • Transfer the chocolate covered blueberry clusters to the fridge or freezer to set. The blueberry chocolates need about 15 minutes to set in the freezer and 30 minutes to set in the fridge.

Freeze Dried Blueberries

  • Pour the dark or milk chocolate and coconut oil into a large microwave safe bowl. Heat in 30 second increments in the microwave until the chocolate is fully melted. Stir the chocolate in between each increment.
    1 cup (6 oz.) fresh or freeze dried blueberries
  • Open the package of freeze dried blueberries. Remove the silica packet (this absorbs moisture and keeps the freeze dried berries crisp). Once the chocolate has melted pour the freeze dried blueberries into the melted chocolate. 
    1 cup (6 oz.) fresh or freeze dried blueberries, 1 teaspoon coconut oil, optional
  • Gently mix the freeze dried berries in the chocolate until all the berries are fully coated in the melted dark or milk chocolate. Use a small, tablespoon sized cookie scoop or spoon to transfer clusters of chocolate covered blueberries onto a lined baking sheet or plate.
  • Transfer the chocolate covered blueberry clusters to the fridge or freezer to set. The blueberry chocolates need about 15 minutes to set in the freezer and 30 minutes to set in the fridge.

Notes
