Hidden Gem Blueberry Chocolate Bites
I first saw a version of these online. When I saw an easy treat that ticked a few of my boxes – sugar-free, minimal ingredients and using two of my daily staples – I had to make a version! I don’t know why I never thought of combining fresh fruit with chocolate, since I do it with dried fruit and nuts all the time!
This easy-to-make recipe combines the sweet and tart flavors of fresh blueberries with the rich and decadent taste of dark chocolate.
Blueberries are my favourite fruit, and always have been! And yes it’s a great bonus that they are one of the few fruit options that is comparatively very low in sugar.
When it comes to dark chocolate, choosing a bar with 85% or higher cacao percentage makes it so low in sugar that I consider it sugar-free, despite the presence of sugar in the ingredients list (which can be confusing, I know).
