Wash the blueberries in a colander, then spread them on paper towels to dry. Allow them to dry completely for about 1 hour.
1 cup fresh blueberries
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
½ cup dark chocolate , ½ tablespoon avocado oil, ½ teaspoon stevia glycerite
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 per cluster, you should get 8 clusters.
Refrigerate the clusters for 20-30 minutes, until the chocolate is set, then enjoy.

Sweetness is a personal preference. Use this recipe as a guide and adjust to taste.
I don't recommend using frozen blueberries. They are too mushy and watery.
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.
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. I don't recommend freezing the leftovers.
