5、Then stop adding chocolate and watch.
(Tip: The blueberries will transition from sliding slowly to rolling with some chocolate slowly solidifying on the surface. Be careful not to drop too much chocolate, otherwise it will cause all the blueberries to stick to the inner wall or stick together, and you need to manually remove it .)
