By Colleen Howard

Ingredients:
1 5 oz. bag flaked or shredded coconut, unsweetened
2/3 cup melted coconut oil
1 Tbsp coconut oil
1/2 cup almond butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:
In medium bowl, mix coconut flakes, 2/3 cup melted coconut oil, vanilla, and almond butter until well combined.  Using hands form into 1 inch balls and put on a plate.  Put the plate in the freezer until the clusters harden completely.  Once the clusters have hardened, melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler with 1 Tbsp coconut oil until smooth.  Dip the clusters into the chocolate and put back onto plate or in a small baking dish.  Put them into the refrigerator until hardened & cooled.

Enjoy the awesome mixture of crunchy chocolate shell and chewy coconut center!
