Farmers market fresh, juicy blueberries paired with rich dark chocolate. Does it get much better than that? If you have a sweet tooth like me, then it really doesn’t. I haven’t met a dessert I didn’t like… well that’s not true. I am not a big custard girl. But that’s beside the point. If you are craving something sweet, these tasty berries are a real treat and great to keep on hand.

The best part – they are guilt-free and so easy to make. You will most likely find yourself making them ALL year round. The flavors pair so well together, it’s a combination of rich, creamy chocolate and tangy yet refreshing berries. Two ingredients that were simply made for each other.

Are Chocolate Covered Blueberries Healthy?

It’s a win-win when you can eat your fruit and have your chocolate too! Blueberries and dark chocolate are filled with antioxidants, making this a superfood dessert great for an anti-inflammatory diet. They are sweet and healthy but still feel naughty. An indulgence without much judgment. Now sign me up! This recipe is vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, grain-free and is suitable for most diets due to its mighty clean ingredients.

Which chocolate goes best with blueberries? How about variations?

You can of course use any chocolate of your liking, however, to keep the nutritious value, I recommend you purchase an organic and dairy-free chocolate bar. And of course, make it dark chocolate. Now, if you are more flexible and wish to create a few different flavors then feel free to use a creamy and sweet milk chocolate which provides a smoother contrast. Or a happy medium would be a semi-sweet chocolate.

Want to enhance your chocolate a little more? Go for it. Add a drop of almond extract or vanilla extract to your melted chocolate mixture for some added flavor.

FAQs & Tips

How to Make Ahead and Store

Store your leftovers in an airtight vessel and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. As this is a quick and simple recipe, there isn’t much you can do to prep in advance, though you can wash your blueberries and pat dry with a paper towel to save a few extra moments later down the line.

Skip the added oil? No way.

The best way to avoid brittle chocolate is to incorporate your coconut oil, or whatever alternative it may be, as it heats. The added oil will slightly soften the chocolate, preventing it from being too brittle. No coconut oil on hand? No worries. You can always replace it with some unsalted melted butter, avocado oil or olive oil.

Ideas for customization…

If you don’t have any blueberries on hand you can always use strawberries, raspberries, dried mango or candied orange peel. Optional additional toppings are sea salt, unsweetened flaked coconut, and cinnamon.

Serving Suggestions

Step aside chocolate-covered strawberries, these chocolate-coated blueberries are all too easy to make and beat you in the taste race. Want something extra decadent? Serve your chocolate-covered blueberries with a dollop of homemade whipped cream or use them as toppings for soft serves of all types.

I love to enjoy mine with a shot of espresso in the afternoon or as an after-dinner delight. Other great ideas to pair these chocolaty berries with are No-Bake Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Bombs or these sophisticated Chocolate Crepes.
