Why You’ll Love This Blueberry Chocolate Clusters Recipe
Just three ingredients: Dark chocolate, blueberries, and flakey sea salt are all you need, so there’s no long shopping list and no fuss.
Simple, no-bake prep: The chocolate melts in the microwave and the clusters set on a lined baking sheet, with no oven required.
Sweet and salty in every bite: Juicy blueberries and rich dark chocolate get a pinch of sea salt on top, which makes a little treat that feels special.
Ingredients
To make blueberry chocolate clusters you’ll need the following ingredients. You can find the specific quantities and steps in the recipe card below.
- Blueberries: I recommend using fresh berries. Frozen blueberries are too soft with a lot of moisture to form chocolate covered clusters.
- Chocolate: My preference is dark chocolate to make these no bake healthy snacks, but you can also use milk or even white chocolate if preferred.
- Salt: Flaked sea salt has the best texture and flavor for finishing these dark chocolate bites. If you only have cooking salt, you can add a pinch to the chocolate instead of sprinkling it on top.
How To Make Dark Chocolate Clusters With Blueberries
Here’s a quick overview of how to make dark chocolate covered blueberries. For the full recipe details, including ingredients and measurements needed, scroll down to the printable recipe card below.
You will need a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat, and a large bowl to get started.
Melt the chocolate: Chop the chocolate and place in a large microwave proof bowl. Melt in 20-second increments, stirring gently each time, until just melted.
Don’t overheat, or over stir to prevent the chocolate seizing – especially important if you are using milk or white chocolate.
Coat the blueberries: Tip the blueberries into the melted chocolate and stir gently using a metal spoon until fully coated.
Form the clusters: Use a large spoon or 1/4 cup to scoop clusters of the chocolate coated blueberries onto the lined baking sheet.
Immediately sprinkle the flaked sea salt over the top of each blueberry cluster – while the chocolate is still soft.
Set the tray of chocolate blueberry clusters aside to firm up completely. You can set them at room temperature, or pop in the fridge for 30 minutes to speed up the process.
Recipe Tips For Success
Melt the chocolate slowly. Heat it in 20-30 second bursts and stir well between each one. This keeps the chocolate smooth and glossy and helps prevent it from seizing, so it coats the blueberries evenly.
Keep clusters refrigerated: As there is no tempering of chocolate, these healthy chocolate snacks are best stored in the fridge until ready to serve.
What To Serve With Dark Chocolate Fruit Snacks
Coffee option: Enjoy a couple of chocolate clusters with my Lotus Biscoff latte or a cold brew float. The spiced biscuit flavour goes well with dark chocolate, and the berries and sea salt cut through the sweetness.
Party platter: Serve a “chocolate and berries” grazing board. Pile the clusters on a board or tiered stand in the middle, then fill the gaps with fresh strawberries, orange segments, and some pistachio chocolate cookies.
Mini paper liners under the clusters keep them tidy and easy to grab.Keep the clusters chilled until just before serving so they stay firm.
Late night snack: Enjoy straight from the fridge. Keep a small container of clusters in the fridge and grab two or three whenever a chocolate craving hits. These chocolate bites are portion-friendly, so it’s an easy way to satisfy a sweet tooth without overdoing it.
If you want something a bit more indulgent, enjoy a few with cold Greek yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
How To Store Dark Chocolate Clusters
Store: Seal chocolate clusters in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 5 days – the timeframe will depend on the freshness of your blueberries.
Freeze: Place the tray of clusters in the freezer to firm up completely, then transfer to a freezer friendly container or bag and store for up to 1 month.
Thaw overnight in the fridge, or on the counter for 15-30 minutes at room temperature before serving.
