Coconut Clusters

May 16, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 28 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I have a special treat for you today!  It contains two of my favorite ingredients, chocolate and coconut, oh yah!!  After all, those two together makes a wonderful combination, don’t you think?  Let me get down to it and share with you my recipe for the day,  Coconut Clusters!
Coconut Clusters
If you’re a fan of Mound Bars, you will LOVE these clusters. They are sweet, perfect size and just ahhhmazing! I made them as natural as I can, by using unsweetened coconut, coconut milk, coconut oil and just a tad  powdered sugar to sweetened them up. They are all covered in rich, creamy smooth dark chocolate that I received by Chocoley.
Chocoley
The clusters are a breeze to make too! Just add all of the ingredients, except for the delicious chocolate in a bowl, mix until well combined and roll into a ball. Once you do that, you freeze the balls. They kind of look like snowballs. You can check them out in my instagram page.  Once the balls have froze, I melted Chocoley dark chocolate in a double boiler and then rolled my balls into the chocolate. Let them harden up a bit and they are done.  I love how simple they are and I love how tasty they are too.
Coconut Clusters
It’s funny that in California they call these coconut clusters, Haystacks, but being from New York we call them clusters. I debated on calling them truffles, but I like clusters better! Funny how the say thing is called different names, just like soda. In New York we call it pop, in California they call it soda. I’m kind of getting off the subject of these delicious little balls.  Sorry about that!
Coconut Clusters
I took the Coconut Clusters to work and they were a sure hit! I made 24 of them and they were all gone. That’s pretty good considering there are only about 6 people in the office. I’m not the most perfect candy maker in the world, but I have to say these are pretty easy! I highly recommend them if you’re a coconut fan! Hmmmmmm…. it seems I have been making a lot of coconut recipes lately. I think I am on an official coconut kick!

Coconut Clusters
I received a sample of Chocoley to try out and I am pretty pleased with it. The chocolate tastes amazing and melts like a dream. I didn’t need to do anything fancy to it, which I like. Quick and easy is the way to go when your making candy.

If you interested in trying out Chocoley, you can find them here.

Here are some additional links for the chocolate that I received.

    This recipe looks amazing! I’m trying to roll the coconut balls, but they are turning to mush in my hands! lol! I wonder what I did wrong? I am going to cool the mixture in the fridge for a while and see if it will help make them more tacky. 🙂

    Is the coconut milk the thick canned type or the watered down type for drinking? I assumed carton meant drinkable type but wantedto make sure.

      Hi! The coconut milk is the drinkable kind. You don’t want to use the canned coconut in this recipe. Let me know how it turns out! 🙂

    The coconut clusters turned out great. I took them to a family reunion, and they were gone fast. Next time I will make a double or triple batch, since I know now how popular the chocolate clusters had become. I didn’t have the dark chocolate that was recommended. I used the kind you melt in the microwave. I’m sure the chocolate recommended is better. The recipe is so easy to make and very healthy for you. Thank you, Jennifer for the recipe. It certainly was a big hit.

      That is awesome! Any kind of chocolate you use would be great! I’m a fan of dark chocolate, but milk is perfect too! I’m so glad they are a hit. I haven’t made them in awhile, but I think I will. Love these little clusters. Thank you for letting me know. 🙂

    Does the coconut centers get tough or stay soft and chewy?

      The coconut stays soft, may get chewy if you refrigerate it.

      Hi Arleen, You can buy coconut oil at Trader Joes, most grocery stores and even Target. Coconut oil is made from coconut.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
