Low FODMAP Dark Chocolate Blueberry Mac Nut Clusters. Enough said. 🙂
Blueberries + Macadamia Nuts + Dark Chocolate = WINNING!
Even a non-chocolate-lover like me can appreciate this decadent combo! In fact, I love to keep these in the freezer (after they've set) because I love all things frozen fruit. I'm kind of obsessed. You know how some people eat ice cream straight out of the freezer (ahem, my husband), well I've been known to munch on frozen blueberries by the handful. 😀
Anyways, these bites are pretty amazing and I'm sure they'll be a hit! I mean what's not to love about fresh blueberries and crunchy macadamia nuts slathered in a layer of rich dark chocolate. Droool.

What kind of coconut oil works best
Em Schwartz, MS, RDN says
Hi Christy, I use refined for a less coconut, more neutral flavor. Unrefined should work fine. The coconut flavor will just be more pronounced. -Emily
