So Sunday my mother and I took my daughter and my sister’s boyfriend’s daughter, Marie, to a birthday party. The little girl and her sister are kids my other sister would babysit regularly. My daughter had been over to visit in the past and they became quick friends. She and Marie became friends at Marie’s birthday, so they were excited to see each other again as well. Besides the birthday girl and our girls, the only other child was the birthday girl’s baby sister. It ended up being a lot of fun for the kids and adults alike.
The plan was to bring these almond berry clusters to the party for the kids, but everyone could not keep their hands off these little candies once they were set and there were maybe only three left by the time the party came around. Admittedly, I did do my fair share of snacking. These little clusters were just so nommy and I couldn’t help but snack on one –almost- every time I walked past the container. Okay, every time. Okay, I took two each time. And there was that time I took maybe three or four, but who can remember at this point.
All you need to know is that mix of fruit plus chocolate, plus almond crunch make for one delicious treat you won’t be able to resist, no matter whose birthday it is. *If for any reason you can't find Blue Diamond Blueberry Almonds, try the recipe using their Salted Caramel Almonds instead!

How yum! Love that the blueberry flavor of the almonds accentuates the fruitiness!
Beeta @ Mon Petit Four says
These definitely look like addictive clusters of goodness!! I love that you get both the fruit & chocolate combo, as well as the nuts & chocolate combo, because I'm a fan of both kinds. I don't blame the adults for finishing these...those kids can just have a cake and call it a day! 😉

Oh my goodness. These look excellent. I will have to do some in white chocolate for my bf, and keep the others for myself!
Liz says
Oh, my gosh, I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off these either! What a marvelous treat---and so easy to make, too!!
Joanne Bruno says
There is no way I could control myself around these. Fruit + chocolate + nut = MY WEAKNESS.
Amanda @ Once Upon a Recipe says
I would not be able to walk past these without grabbing a handful. I've never seen these blueberry clusters but will have to keep my eyes open for them!

Oops sorry about the double comment. I didn't see the first one go through 😉

I totally would have inhaled this while batch without sharing 🙂 looks like the best kind of treat--simple and delish!
Amanda says
It is exactly that! And what's worse is that it's so easy to make that you'll keep making more and more of it until one day you wake up in chocolate rehab!
