Perfectly moist & fudgy brownies packed full of dark chocolate covered blueberries, covered in cream cheese frosting & topped with a delicious blueberry & cranberry almond chocolate bar. These Dark Chocolate Blueberry Brownies are another one of my yummy bar recipes that are sure to wow the crowd.
If you are looking for a great dessert idea to bring to your next backyard bbq – I have just the thing.
Have you seen the chocolate covered fruits & chocolate bars by Brookside chocolates (sold exclusively at Target)? They are one of my favorite snacks. I pick some up every time I am in Target. They work great for adding on top of an evening treat, mixing in a morning granola recipe or just as a midafternoon snack.
I have been wanting to use them in more recipes, so I created these incredibly delicious Dark Chocolate Blueberry Brownies. Let me show you just how easy it is to make these!
First take your brownie ingredients & mix in a medium size bowl.
Then transfer to your prepared baking pan.
Then take your dark chocolate blueberries & sprinkle them on top.
Bake, remove & allow to cool completely on wire rack. In the meantime you can whip up your frosting.
Once the brownies are cool, spread your frosting on top in a nice even layer.
Keep chilled until ready to serve. When serving, remove brownies by pulling up & out with overhanging parchment. Then cut your squares.
Then take this gorgeous chocolate bar & break into squares. Top on each brownie. Done!
See, I told you it was easy & I promise that everyone will love them!

What I like about many of your recipes , is that you combine the healthy with the delicious – like chocolate! Hope you are able to enjoy summer. Right now 21 fires are burning in California – almost sounds unreal.

Dark chocolate is my most favorite in the world, especially if there’s caramel inside and sea salt on the outside!
