Instructions
- Wash the blueberries in a colander, then spread them on paper towels to dry. Allow them to dry completely for about 1 hour.
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second sessions, stirring after each session. You’ll likely need 3 sessions. Chocolate burns easily, so stop microwaving when most of the chocolate is melted, then stir to melt the rest. Stir the avocado oil and the sweetener (if using) into the melted chocolate
- Add the dry blueberries to the melted chocolate. Stir gently with a spoon to ensure they are well coated.
- Using the same spoon, transfer clusters of the mixture onto a large, wax-paper-lined plate. In total, when using large blueberries and measuring out 6-7 of them per cluster, you should get 8 clusters.
- Refrigerate the clusters until the chocolate is set for 20-30 minutes, then enjoy!
Notes
- I don't recommend using frozen blueberries in this recipe. They are too mushy.
- You can use either chocolate chips or a chopped chocolate bar. Chop it on a cutting board using a sharp chef's knife.
- To melt the chocolate on the stovetop, add the chocolate and oil to a small saucepan and heat them over very low heat, stirring often, until melted.
- The blueberries should be completely dry when you add them to the melted chocolate, or the melted chocolate will seize when it comes into contact with water droplets. So give them an hour or so to dry. It's annoying to wait, but it's an essential step.
- The avocado oil slightly softens the chocolate, so it's not too brittle when you bite into the candy. You can also use melted coconut oil or unsalted butter.
- You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Take them out of the fridge about 30 minutes before eating them. Chocolate is always better at room temperature. I don't recommend freezing the leftovers.
