Preparation

  4. Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave in 20-second intervals until smooth.
  5. Spoon melted chocolate over each cluster, leaving some mixture visible.
  6. Sprinkle with flaky salt if desired.
  7. Refrigerate for 30-45 minutes or until chocolate is firm. Let sit at room temperature before serving.

These clusters keep well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. For longer storage, freeze in a single layer for up to three months. Customize with additional ingredients like mini marshmallows or nuts.
