Blueberry Chocolate Clusters

Wesley and I love dipping tasty things in chocolate. From healthier options like Chocolate Banana Sundae Bites to the not-so-healthy (but super fun) Chocolate Dipped Sundae Marshmallows, we’ve featured a lot of different chocolate dipping ideas for Mini Chef Mondays. Last week Wesley and I were dipping some heart shaped apples, but we had plenty of leftover chocolate. Rather than dip something salty like pretzels, I dug out some fruit options. We chose blueberries to try something different and created these easy Blueberry Chocolate Clusters.
I had Wesley pick out blueberries that were nice and firm and remove any stems.
After washing we made sure to dry them really well to avoid any issue with our chocolate.
We dipped a handful at a time, but if you are very careful you can do more at once. If your mini chef is young and you think may crush the blueberries, it is best to drop a few at a time or do that part yourself.
To make our blueberry chocolate clusters more colorful, Wes added some rainbow non-preils over the top.
You definitely want to keep these clusters refrigerated to avoid your blueberries getting mushy. Because they are smaller, they heat up more than other fruits after being dipped in chocolate so I suggest moving them to the fridge to cool.
