Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8 x 6 quarter sheet pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper hangs over the edges for easy removal later.
  2. Cream the Butter: Beat the softened unsalted butter on medium speed until it becomes light and creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Incorporate Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar into the creamed butter, mixing on low speed initially to prevent a sugar cloud.
  4. Add Blueberry Flavor and Salt: Mix in the blueberry flavor paste and a pinch of salt, ensuring they blend evenly into your buttercream.
  5. Adjust Consistency: Slowly add whole milk one tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition to achieve a smooth, pipeable consistency.
  6. Chill the Buttercream: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for about 15 to 20 minutes.
  7. Cut into Squares: Spread the buttercream evenly in the prepared pan and cut into 1-inch squares.
  8. Allow to Dry: Let the cut buttercream squares dry at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours.
  9. Melt the Chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler over low heat, stirring gently to prevent scorching.
  10. Dip the Chocolates: Dip each buttercream square into the melted chocolate, then place on a parchment-lined tray.
  11. Let Chocolate Set: Allow the dipped chocolates to cool at room temperature until the chocolate coating is fully set, about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  12. Storage: Transfer your chocolates to an airtight container for storage.

Notes

Ensure your butter is at room temperature for fluffy buttercream. High-quality chocolate is key for flavor. Allow buttercream to chill adequately before cutting to maintain shape.
