Blueberry Chocolate Clusters

Chefsville did this recipe first at a library with about 40 kids. They absolutely loved this. Since then the response to this recipe has been huge.

I don’t like to use milk chocolates, as they are already processed and difficult to work with.

Chocolates are a world unto themselves. There are so many kinds and each chocolate imparts different characteristics and properties to this fun recipe.

Blueberry Chocolate Clusters

This recipe can be done with any of your favorite fruits as long as they go well with chocolate. We used a semi sweet chocolate so we don't add sugar to that. But this works well with bitter sweet melting chocolates as well. If you want, go to the store and get a good quality chocolate for these, especially if you are making them for your family and closest friends. As you experiment with different fruits and chocolates that this product becomes different. For example strawberries and a Belgian chocolate will produce a far superior result than cheap chocolate chips from a store.
