Any type of chocolate works! Chocolate chips and chopped chocolate bars are great options. For vegan and dairy free, use vegan chocolate chips. Use sugar free for Paleo and low carb.
Coconut oil serves two purposes. First, it helps thin out the chocolate mixture. Secondly, coconut oil hardens when chilled. So, it allows the chocolate coating to harden quickly.
Use fresh blueberries. Wash beforehand. Then, dry with paper towels completely. Any extra water on the berries will prevent the chocolate coating from sticking.
Taste & Texture
These chocolate covered blueberries are naturally sweet. They taste exactly as they look. Chocolate and blueberries are the only flavors. Use refined coconut oil, which is neutral in flavor.
The coating is smooth and creamy. The berries are juicy!

Expert Tips & Tricks
Fully melt chocolate chips and coconut oil. This only takes about 30 seconds in the microwave.
Alternatively, feel free to melt chocolate and coconut oil in a double boiler on the stovetop.
After washing berries, pat dry completely. Extra water or moisture will prevent the chocolate coating from sticking to the blueberries.
Gently stir around blueberries in the chocolate mixture. Do not break apart any berries.
Use a spoon to drop berries in small clusters.
Make clusters as large or small as desired.
Allow clusters to chill long enough for the chocolate to harden.
How to Serve & Store
Serve chocolate covered blueberries once chilled and hardened.
These must be stored in the fridge or freezer. They will become soft and melted at room temperature.
They only last about 3 days in the fridge. After that, the berries will begin to soften.
Store in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Frozen blueberries are very mushy and will not work well.
Both chocolate chips and chopped chocolate work well. Use any type of chocolate that melts easily.
Sure! I recommend chopping it up before microwaving. This helps it melt more quickly.
Any berry or fruit can be covered in melted chocolate. You may need to more gently stir fruit or berries in chocolate. For instance, raspberries are much more fragile and watery than blueberries. Try these Chocolate Covered Raspberries!

Instead of coconut oil, what other oil can be used? Thank you
The coconut oil helps the chocolate coating harden when chilled. Do not use olive oil or another oil. You could use butter or shortening instead, or omit it altogether. Enjoy!
