Rinse blueberries, spread on paper towels and pat dry.  Line a baking sheet wtih wax paper or parchment.  In a small bowl or top of a double boiler, over barely simmering water, place chocolate; stir until melted.  Remove bowl from hot water; gently fold in blueberries.  Make clusters by spooning 4 or 5 warm chocolate coated blueberries onto wax paper, placing them 1 inch apart.  Or spoon mixture into silicone candy molds.*  Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.  Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days.  For gift presentation: place clusters in pleated paper candy cups and arrange in a box.

Yield: 18 to 24 clusters

*Silicone candy molds can be found at crafts stores or www.cakesandthings.com or www.candylandcrafts.com
