❤️ Why You'll Love This Easy Recipe
- Fun contrast: The combination of smooth melted chocolate coating surrounding juicy blueberries is so delicious.
- So easy to make: With just 3 ingredients, this is a quick recipe to make.
- No added sugar: The blueberries are sweet enough you don't need any added sugar.
- Natural flavor. Unlike store-bought chocolate-covered berries, this treat has no artificial flavor added.
🍫 Ingredients
Only three simple ingredients are needed to make this easy treat.
- Fresh blueberries. Use fresh, ripe blueberries. If you don't have fresh, you can also use dried blueberries. I do not recommend using frozen blueberries. Frozen blueberries contain too much moisture, which will cause the chocolate to seize and not coat the fruit properly.
- Chocolate. I prefer dark chocolate chunks or dark chocolate chips. However, feel free to use any kind of chocolate you like, including white chocolate, milk chocolate, or vegan chocolate. You can even use chocolate chips or chocolate bars cut into small pieces!
- Coconut oil. This will help achieve a smoother consistency of the melted chocolate.

🥣 How To Make Chocolate Covered Blueberries
Wash and Dry Blueberries
Start by gently washing the blueberries under cool running water to remove any dirt or impurities.
Once washed, dry the blueberries well with a paper towel. They must be completely dry before dipping them in chocolate, as chocolate doesn't stick if there is any moisture on the berry.
Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil using your preferred method (microwave or double boiler). See below for more detail.
Melt Chocolate
There are a few methods you can use:
Microwave Method:
- Place coconut oil and chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. The coconut oil helps to achieve a smoother consistency and makes the chocolate easier to work with.
- Place the bowl in the microwave and heat in 20-30 seconds intervals, stirring the chocolate after each interval.
- Continue microwaving and stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Air Fryer Method:
- Place chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Turn your air fryer to the 'reheat' setting. Turn it on for 2 minutes, stirring every 20-30 seconds.
- Once the chocolate is melted, add the coconut oil and whisk it in until smooth and combined.
Double Boiler Method:
- Fill a small saucepan with water and bring it to a simmer. Place a heatproof glass bowl on top of the saucepan, ensuring the bottom doesn't touch the water.
- Add the chocolate and coconut oil to the glass bowl. The steam from the simmering water will gently heat the bowl and melt everything together.
- Warm chocolate and stir it occasionally until it's completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to let any water come into contact with the chocolate, as it can cause the chocolate to seize.
🍫 Dipping the Blueberries
Now comes the fun part—dipping the blueberries into the melted chocolate.
Drop the blueberries in the chocolate by the spoonful. Use a spoon or fork to gently roll the blueberries around, ensuring they are well-covered in chocolate.
Once coated, use a fork or spoon to scoop up small clumps of chocolate-covered berries, allowing the excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
Carefully transfer chocolate blueberry clusters onto a parchment paper-lined sheet pan in a single layer. Keep them spaced apart to prevent the chocolate coating from sticking together.
Repeat these steps until all the blueberries are coated with chocolate.
Refrigerate the blueberries for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
Remove from the refrigerator and serve chilled.
Enjoy!
