Toasted Coconut Clusters

These are a favorite in my house! My brother almost ate the entire bowl before i even got them onto the cookie sheet!! 

Ingredients:

2 cups Chocolate Chips

1/2 Butter

Coconut ( about three cups )

Directions:

Pre heat oven to 350.

Place coconut onto baking sheet in single layer and toast until slightly browned. Be careful to watch it and using a spatula or lifter sift the coconut often so it evenly browns. Once it has reached the color you desire take it out of the oven to cool.  The smell of coconut will fill your house! Ooh it smells so good!

Once it’s cooled Melt chocolate and butter in microwavable safe glass bowl. Microwave until almost completely melted then stir by hand to completely melt. 

Stir in the coconut. I ususally add some non toasted coconut to the mix as well. 

Once it is all covered in chocolate, scooping with a small ice cream scoop, or dropping by spoons, place small clusters onto a baking sheet with parchment paper. 

Let cool in refrigerator until set. You can freeze these easily and take out about 15 mins before serving.

Enjoy!
