Ensure the blueberries are completely dry before coating them with chocolate. Moisture can cause the chocolate to seize or not adhere properly. For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate or experiment with different types of chocolate, such as milk chocolate or white chocolate. Add a sprinkle of sea salt or chopped nuts on top of the chocolate-covered blueberries before refrigerating for an extra touch of flavor and texture. If you find the chocolate is too thick, add a tiny bit more shortening, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.

01
Step
5 mins
Prepare the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and shortening. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until completely melted and smooth. (Alternatively, use a double boiler: Place chocolate and shortening in a heatproof bowl set over a simmering pot of water, stirring until melted and smooth.) (5 minutes)
02
Step
2 mins
Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This will prevent the chocolate-covered blueberries from sticking. (2 minutes)
03
Step
3 mins
Coat the Blueberries: Gently fold the dried blueberries into the melted chocolate, ensuring each berry is evenly coated. Be careful not to crush the blueberries. (3 minutes)
04
Step
5 mins
Arrange and Chill: Using a small spoon or fork, carefully transfer small clusters of chocolate-covered blueberries onto the prepared baking sheet. Allow space between each cluster to prevent them from sticking together. (5 minutes)
05
Step
20 mins
Refrigerate to Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm and set. (20 minutes)
