Ingredients

1 cup blueberries
4 oz dark or semi-sweet chocolate
1 ½ tsp coconut oil
1 tsp granulated sugar
1 lemon zested

Instructions

Wash the blueberries and let them sit on a clean dish towel to completely air dry for about and hour or two.
In a small bowl add the zest of one lemon and a tsp of granulated sugar and stir. You want to coat the lemon zest with the sugar so that it creates a sort of sugary crumble.
In a medium microwave safe bowl add the chocolate for 30 second intervals stirring in between rounds. Stop when the chocolate is nearly melted. Stirring the remaining warm chocolate will melt what is left. You do not want to overheat the chocolate and burn it.
Add the dried blueberries to the warm chocolate and stir gently to coat the blueberries completely.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drop spoonfuls of 4-5 blueberries on the sheet leaving space in between so the chocolates aren't touching.
Add a pinch of the sugared lemon zest to the top of each blueberry cluster and then place the sheet of chocolate blueberries in the fridge to set for a half hour.
Serve once the chocolate on the blueberries has set.

Notes

Store in the fridge in a tightly sealed container once the chocolate has completely set and is not longer sticky for up to a week.
