Servings: 20 depending on size
Calories: 152kcal
Ingredients
- 11 ounces dark chocolate chips* or chopped dark chocolate bar
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Line a medium baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Melt chocolate and coconut oil as you choose: in a double boiler (a heatproof pan set over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth) or in the microwave (use a heatproof bowl, preferably with a handle like a large glass measuring cup, heating and stirring at 1 minute and then again for 30 seconds as needed until smooth).
- Stir the coconut into the melted chocolate until well combined.
- Use a small cookie scoop (or two spoons) to drop clusters onto prepared baking sheet in desired size. Aim for about tablespoon-size clusters.
- Refrigerate until clusters are firm. Remove to an air-tight container and store at room temperature for up to a month (do not store in fridge).
Notes
*This equals one bag of dark chocolate chips (usually). You can also use a 12 ounce bag of semisweet chips for a sweeter candy - add about 1/4 cup more coconut if you do, though.
