Ingredients
Recipe Card
Dark chocolate: I typically use Lindt Excellence 90% or the extra dark chocolate chips made by Pascha. Sweetener: I use stevia glycerite. You can use your favorite sweetener. Coconut oil: I add it to the melted chocolate to keep it from being too brittle after it sets. Ghee or butter will also work, but I do like the added flavor from the coconut oil. Unsweetened coconut flakes: These are large flakes, not shredded coconut. I use shredded coconut to make coconut haystacks, which are similar to clusters but not exactly the same.
Your first step is to melt the chocolate. You can do it in the microwave. To avoid burning the chocolate, do it in 30-second sessions and stir after each session. Next, stir the coconut oil and sweetener into the melted chocolate until smooth. Add the coconut flakes to the chocolate mixture. You can use a rubber spatula or a spoon. Once the clusters are set, serve them.
