Chocolate Coconut Puffed Rice Clusters

These chocolate coconut puffed rice clusters are one of those easy recipes that somehow disappear almost immediately after setting. They’re crunchy, chocolatey, and come together with just a few of ingredients and almost no effort. I started making these as a quick coconut treat, and now they’ve become one of my favorite homemade snacks for holidays, movie nights, and random chocolate cravings.

Ingredients

180 g semi-sweet chocolate or dark, this includes extra for drizzling
30 g butter
50 g puffed rice cereal see notes
60 g shredded coconut
salt pinch

Instructions

Melt the chocolate and butter together in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave until smooth. Before moving on, set aside 20–30 g of the melted chocolate for drizzling later. Stir in the salt.
Add the shredded coconut and about 40 g puffed rice to start. Mix well, then add more puffed rice gradually if needed (you might not need to!). This part matters: You’re not aiming for dry cereal. The mixture should feel sticky, well-coated, and easy to press together. If you’re unsure, stop adding puffed rice; It’s always better to have slightly richer clusters than ones that fall apart.
Scoop small portions onto a parchment-lined tray. I use a tablespoon measurement to do this, to make them somewhat similar in size. Don’t over-shape them. Rough, uneven clusters look better and more natural. You’ll get about 30-35 clusters.
Drizzle the reserved melted chocolate over the clusters and sprinkle with a little shredded coconut. Leave at room temperature for 30–60 minutes or refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until firm.

Notes

About the puffed rice
Different brands vary a lot in weight and volume.

40 g → softer, more chocolatey clusters
50 g → lighter, crunchier clusters

Start with less and only add more if the mixture still feels too wet.
