Chocolate Covered Blueberries

Ingredients

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon shortening
• 2 cups fresh blueberries, rinsed and dried

Steps

1. Place chocolate in a microwave-safe glass bowl; microwave until melted and smooth, stirring frequently. (Or place chocolate in a metal bowl set over a pan of simmering water; heat until melted and smooth, stirring frequently.) Off heat, stir in shortening until melted.
2. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
3. Add blueberries to chocolate mixture; gently stir to coat. Spoon small clumps of coated blueberries onto the prepared baking sheet.
4. Refrigerate until firm, about 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container in a cool place. These will last about two days.
