-
- DON’T skip the lime zest. I really think that gave them an extra boost of flavor and took them up a notch.
-
- If you are not fond of limes, you can also use lemon zest or orange zest.
-
- To make a blueberry chocolate bar instead of clusters, use a rectangular chocolate mold.
-
- You can REPLACE blueberries with your favorite berries: Strawberries, raspberries or even blackberries. YUM!
