- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 24 cluster cups 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted
- 2 1/2 cups chocolate chips or melts
- 1 lb. caramel (*see notes*)
Additional Items you may need:
- heavy whipping cream (optional *see notes)
- flaked sea salt (optional)
- seasonal muffin or cupcake liners
Instructions
- Toast the shredded coconut over medium heat, stirring frequently so it doesn’t burn. Remove from the pan and set aside when done.
- Melt 3/4 of the chocolate in a glass microwave safe bowl on low heat for short 15-30 second increments, stirring in between. Stir in the remaining 1/4 of the chocolate until melted.
- Stir the coconut into the chocolate and spoon into the muffin liners.
- Melt the caramel in the microwave (again on low heat and short increments, stirring in-between).
- If it is too thick (depending on what type of caramel you used) add 1 tablespoon at a time of heavy whipping cream till you reach your desired consistency. It should be thick but still able to scoop and drizzle.
- Make an indent in the middle of each coconut cluster and spoon the caramel into the middle.
- Top with flaked sea salt.
Notes
*I used the chocolate and caramel in the recipe from chocoley.com and loved it!
*If your caramel is too thick, you can add a couple of tablespoons (one at a time) of heavy whipping cream to thin it out and make it easier to spoon/pour into your coconut cluster cups.
