Here are the ingredients you will need. This particular recipe will make approximately five turtles, so plan accordingly if you want to make more.
- Seven tablespoons of bittersweet 60% cocoa chocolate chips

- 1/4 cups of almonds, sliced
And here are the easy to follow instructions on how to make these tasty turtle treats:
- Place chocolate chips into a microwaveable bowl, such as glass, and let them melt in the microwave between 60 and 75 seconds or until they’re well melted. Afterwards, stir in the wild blueberries and almonds until they’re thoroughly mixed together.
- Get a baking sheet and place parchment paper over it and drop five or six tablespoon-sized dollops of the chocolate mixture onto the parchment paper. Let the baking sheet chill in the fridge for about five to ten minutes or until the dollops have firmed and can be eaten. Serve and enjoy!
