Have you ever had that crazy “aha” moment that made you wonder why you hadn’t thought of it before?

A few days ago, my sister, Jenny, called me to tell me that she wanted dessert but didn’t have anything sweet at home, so she melted a few chocolate chips and drizzled them over the blueberries.

When she couldn’t stop talking about this new treat, I immediately decided to try it. She was right, she was right.

Who would have thought that chocolate-covered blueberries could be even more irresistible than the ever-popular chocolate-covered strawberries?

I’ve made a few desserts before, but I can say that this chocolate-covered blueberry is one of the easiest recipes I’ve ever made.

Arrange the blueberries, prepare a simple chocolate sauce, and pour it over the blueberries. Chill the berries in the refrigerator and you’re done!

And what a delicious contrast! The combination of rich, creamy dark chocolate and sweet, refreshing, mildly tart blueberries is heavenly. The flavor of the berries will stand out even more if you eat it in a slightly cooled state.

If you want a little more complex flavor, you can also sprinkle the berries with coconut as you prepare them to cool.
