Ingredients and Substitutions

I like to use dark chocolate with a high cocoa content when making these treats (70%-80% provides the ideal sweetness in my opinion). You can substitute any type of chocolate you prefer.

I prefer to use fresh blueberries when making this recipe, but you can substitute dried blueberries if you prefer. Dried blueberries provide a chewier texture and are a particularly good option if you plan on giving these as gifts because they will last longer and are less delicate. But personally I prefer the contrast of the rich, dark chocolate and fresh, juicy blueberries.

How to Make Dark Chocolate Covered Blueberries

Start by adding the chopped dark chocolate to a pot on the stove set to low heat. Cook, stirring constantly until the chocolate has melted, then immediately remove the pot from the heat.

Add the blueberries to the pot of melted dark chocolate, then gently stir until the blueberries are completely coated in chocolate.
