Tips for the Best Chocolate Blueberries
- Microwave your chocolate at 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, to prevent scorching.

- Fold the blueberries in, don't stir them. This helps them keep their shape.
FAQ
Dark chocolate covered blueberries are very healthy. The dark chocolate is full of flavanoids and low in fact, and blueberries are full of vitamins and antioxidants. Even milk chocolate covered blueberries are somewhat healthy, although not as much as dark chocolate.
Use a spatula and gently fold the blueberries into the chocolate rather than mixing them. When spooning them out, be gentle and aim the tip of the spoon between berries.
Sweating is a natural part of chilling chocolate covered fruit that can't be avoided. However, it can be lessened by storing the blueberries in an air-tight container.
