Add the crushed blueberries and continue to stir. After about 10-12 minutes this will glisten, then thicken quickly. Stir and remove from heat. Once cooled, add to the remaining 4 cups of fresh blueberries, coating all of them.
Fold in the 6 oz bag of chocolate covered blueberries. Put mixture into the pre-baked pie crust from above.
