- Step 3: Stir the coconut into the melted chocolate, folding gently until the mixture is well combined and evenly mixed.

Tips & Variations

- Try adding a pinch of sea salt on top before chilling to balance the sweetness.
- For extra texture, mix in chopped nuts or dried fruit along with the coconut.
Storage
Store the candy clusters in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. For longer storage, place them in an airtight, freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2 months. When ready to enjoy, let them thaw at room temperature for a few minutes if frozen.

FAQs
Can I use sweetened coconut instead of unsweetened?
Yes, you can use sweetened coconut, but keep in mind the clusters will be sweeter and may alter the texture slightly.
Do I have to chill the clusters in the freezer?
Chilling in the freezer helps the clusters set quickly and hold their shape, but you can also refrigerate them. The freezer just speeds up the process.
