Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 3-5 minutes
Rest Time: at least 20 minutes to set up in the fridge
Serves: About 12-18
Cuisine: Dessert
Leftovers: Best by the second or third day
Dark Chocolate Covered Blueberry Clusters
Melt the chocolate and fat source together in either 1) a microwave in a microwave safe glass or ceramic container, or 2) over the cooktop using a pan or pot of simmering water into which you put a suitable container containing the chips and butter/coconut oil/ghee.
Dump the berries into a bowl.
Mix the chocolate with the butter or etc.
Pour/ladle the chocolate mixture over the berries, and mix immediately but gently. The effectiveness of this will likely increase with repetition. Before all the chocolate solidifies and all the blueberries melt, make tablespoonful sized clusters of berry/chocolate, and place on a pan (parchment paper lining may help). You may need to use your fingers to break up clusters to more manageable portions. You do need to work fast.
Place in fridge for at least 20 minutes, or overnight. Serve chilled.

Dark Chocolate Covered Blueberry Clusters
- 1 bag of 12 ounce / 340 grams chocolate chips, as dark (cacao amount) as possible, or as your guests will appreciate. (Note potential dairy constituents if needed.)
- 2 tablespoons butter (or coconut oil or ghee).
- 10-11 ounces / 300 grams frozen blueberries, no sugar or syrup added to that package at any point. (Indeed these were self-frozen from fresh about six months ago.)
