Ingredients
4ouncesfresh blueberriesabout ¾ cup
⅔cupdark chocolate chips
2tablespoonscoconut oil
sweetened shredded coconutOPTIONAL for topping
Instructions
Wash and completely dry the blueberries. Set 12 muffin cups on a plate or tray. Place 6-8 blueberries in the bottom of each muffin cup, depending on size.
Place the chocolate and coconut oil in a glass measuring cup or bowl. Heat in the microwave for 90 seconds at 50% POWER. Stir and heat for an additional 30-60 seconds at 50% POWER, if needed. Stir to finish dissolving the chocolate.
Spoon the melted chocolate over the berries. Lightly spread the chocolate over the berries with the back of a spoon. Alternatively, you can add the berries to the bowl with the chocolate and stir to coat, then transfer them to the muffin cups.
Sprinkle with coconut, if desired. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has set firm. Remove from the muffin cups and serve cold. Store any remaining chocolate covered blueberries in the refrigerator.
Notes
If you'd rather not use the microwave, you can also melt the chocolate in a double boiler, or a glass bowl over a simmering pan of water.The chocolate covered berries may be stored in an airtight container and kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
