Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups dairy-free chocolate chips semi-sweet or dark
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- pinch salt
- 1 cup fresh blueberries rinsed and completely dried
- ½ cup gluten-free brown rice cereal puffed or crispy
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Rinse blueberries and pat them dry. They should be completely dry before assembling clusters.
- Heat chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring after each until most of the chips are completely melted.
- Sprinkle in salt and stir until remaining chips are melted
- Add blueberries and brown rice cereal. Fold gently with a spatula until all ingredients are coated.
- Use a tablespoon to drop mounds of the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. (Your fingers will get chocolatey.) Should make about 11-12 clusters.
- Refrigerate for 30-45 minutes or until set. Store blueberry rice clusters in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Pat dry the blueberries with a paper towel before using them in the recipe. Water will cause the melted chocolate to seize.
- To omit any hint of coconut, use refined coconut oil.
- For best results, store the chocolate clusters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or the freezer for up to 3 months. When at room temperature they can get soft and melty.
- The best way to freeze these little clusters is to freeze them on a baking sheet. Then transfer the clusters to a freezer-safe ziplock bag and store them in the freezer.
- If you'd like to omit the cereal, add an extra ½ cup of blueberries.
