Chocolate Coconut Clusters
These chocolate coconut clusters have that same rich, chewy vibe as a Mounds or Almond Joy bar, but made fresh in your own kitchen.

Ingredients
- 4 ounces milk chocolate melting wafers*
- 4 ounces dark chocolate melting wafers*
- 4 ounces sweetened coconut flakes
- *I use chocolate melting wafers because they stay firm at room temperature. But regular chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bars work just fine — you'll just need to keep them stored in the refrigerator. Also, the type of chocolate is totally up to you - I like to do a 50/50 mixture of dark and milk chocolate, but use the type you like best!
Instructions
- Place your chocolate pieces in a bowl and microwave in short bursts of 30 seconds, stirring between each time. After about a minute to a minute and a half, the chocolate should be melted and ready to use. Be careful - it's hot!4 ounces milk chocolate melting wafers*, 4 ounces dark chocolate melting wafers*
- Next, simply add the coconut flakes and stir it all together until all the coconut pieces are covered in chocolate and it's evenly distributed throughout the chocolate.4 ounces sweetened coconut flakes
- Using a small spoon, scoop out spoonfuls of the chocolate coconut mixture and place on parchment or wax paper to set.
- If you used chocolate melting wafers, they will set to firm on the counter at room temperature; if, however, you used chocolate chips, a chocolate bar, etc, they will need to be placed in the refrigerator to set.
- Let the chocolate coconut clusters set for about 30 minutes and enjoy!

Notes
❓ FAQ
- Can I use unsweetened coconut instead? Sure can! It's all about personal preference here, so use whichever one you prefer.
- Can I freeze the chocolate coconut clusters? Yep. Freeze in a single layer first, then transfer to a sealed container. Just let them come to room temp before serving so they’re not rock solid.
- Why do you use chocolate melting wafers? And is that required? The reason I use chocolate melting wafers is because they won't melt at room temperature. You can certainly use other chocolates, but you'll have to either temper the chocolate or store the finished clusters in the fridge.
- Is this a kid-friendly recipe? Absolutely. It’s a great no-bake project—just melt, mix, and scoop. The hardest part is waiting for them to set.
