If you’re looking for a quick snack that’s both sweet and healthy, you’re going to love these Dark Chocolate Blueberry Clusters. They’re super simple to make, taste amazing, and are great for both kids and adults. I love keeping a batch in the freezer for when I want a cool, chocolatey bite without feeling too heavy. And the best part? You only need three main ingredients!
Method
Melt the chocolate
To start, place your dark chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Melt the chocolate by microwaving it in short 30-second intervals. After each interval, take the bowl out and stir the chocolate well. This helps it melt evenly and prevents any burning. Depending on your microwave, this usually takes around 1 to 1½ minutes total. If the chocolate seems a bit too thick or clumpy, you can add a tablespoon of coconut oil or butter to help smooth it out. Stir it in gently, and you’ll get that perfect, pourable consistency that’s ideal for coating the blueberries.
Mix in peanut butter powder
Once your chocolate is melted and smooth, it’s time to add the PBfit peanut butter powder. Sprinkle it into the bowl and use a spoon or spatula to stir it thoroughly into the chocolate. This gives your chocolate a light peanut butter flavor without adding any extra sugar or fat. Make sure there are no dry lumps left in the mixture. It should be completely smooth and creamy by the time you’re done mixing.
Add the blueberries
Next, gently fold your fresh blueberries into the chocolate-peanut butter mixture. It’s important to use a soft hand here so the blueberries don’t get squished. Stir until all the berries are evenly coated with the chocolate. You want each berry to be completely surrounded in that rich, flavorful mixture for the perfect bite every time.
Scoop and freeze
Now it’s time to shape your clusters! Use a spoon to scoop small mounds of the chocolate-coated blueberries onto a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet. Each scoop should hold about a spoonful of the mixture enough to form a nice little cluster. Once they’re all on the tray, sprinkle the tops with a pinch of flaky sea salt. This adds a touch of crunch and really brings out the flavor of the chocolate. Place the tray into the freezer and let the clusters firm up for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Enjoy
After they’ve hardened, your Dark Chocolate Blueberry Clusters are ready to enjoy! Carefully lift them off the parchment paper and pop one in your mouth you’ll get that perfect mix of sweet, salty, fruity, and rich chocolate in every bite. Store any leftovers in the fridge or freezer, depending on how chilled you like your treats. They make the perfect anytime snack or dessert!

Notes
- Don’t overheat the chocolate! It can burn easily. Always melt it in short bursts and stir each time.
- Dry blueberries = better clusters. Make sure your blueberries are clean but dry before mixing them into the chocolate extra water can mess with the texture.
- Work quickly. Once the chocolate is melted, it starts to firm up. So mix and scoop before it hardens!
