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.

    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. 🙂

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

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors.

I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle.
