I also love using my small crockpot to melt the chocolate when I have a little extra time, it keeps everything smooth and makes the whole process even easier.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
These are one of those “why didn’t I make this sooner?” recipes.
- Minimal ingredients (just 3!)
- No baking required
- Ready in about 20 minutes total
- Easy to customize with different chocolates
- Kid and adult approved
They’re great for snacking, party trays, or when you just want a little something sweet without going overboard.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Fresh blueberries
- Dark chocolate chips
- Vegetable shortening
Step By Step Directions
Start by making sure your blueberries are completely dry. Any moisture will make the chocolate seize up, so don’t skip this part.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and vegetable shortening. Heat in short intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Once melted, gently stir in the blueberries, making sure they’re evenly coated.
Using a spoon, drop small clusters (about 6 to 8 blueberries) onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Don’t worry about making them perfect, those rustic little clusters are part of the charm.
Place the tray in the refrigerator and chill for about 10 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Tips & Tricks
- Single berries: You can also dip them individually if you want a more polished look.
- Dry berries are key: Even a little water can ruin your melted chocolate.
- Use a crockpot: If you’ve got the time, melting chocolate in a small crockpot keeps it silky smooth and prevents burning.
- Switch it up: Try milk chocolate, white chocolate, or even a mix.
- Top with: Flaky sea salt or sprinkles!
Storage
Store your chocolate covered blueberries in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’re best enjoyed within 2–3 days while the berries are still fresh and juicy.

Frequently asked questions
The shortening helps the chocolate melt smoothly and set with a nice sheen, but you can skip it if needed. The texture may be slightly thicker.
Fresh is best. Frozen blueberries release too much moisture as they thaw, which can cause the chocolate to seize. If you don’t want to use fresh blueberries, you could use dried blueberries!
Absolutely! Milk chocolate, white chocolate, or even semi-sweet all work great here.
They’re best within 2–3 days when stored in the refrigerator.
Yes! They’re perfect for making a day in advance, just keep them chilled until ready to serve.
