Dark Chocolate Clusters

Dark Chocolate Clusters

These are a great no bake recipe that you stock in the freezer for when that moment hits and you want something sweet, not too sweet and hits the spot but healthy.

Little bites of greatness that are a low sugar option, so great for kids or toddlers and adults too!

As always GF, coeliac friendly, palm oil free and low in sugar.

PREP TIME 10minutes mins

FREEZER TIME 1hour hr (maybe more)

COURSE Snack

SERVINGS 12 Bites

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2-1 cup granola - I used home made from GF oat, nuts, pecans, raisins, with a dash of cinnamon and ginger mixed in and glued together with maple syrup that I popped in the oven until golden brown, then left outside to harden and broken into pieces. but you can by shop bought.
  • 1/2 cup - almond butter – don’t forget to stir it up otherwise you will get a very oily version that won’t set
  • 1/4 cup - maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp - coconut oil melted – I used MCT oil
  • 1 1/4  - cups mix between 87.5% and 100% 80Noir chocolate

INSTRUCTIONS

1.     Combine all of the ingredients, besides the granola and chocolate, until smooth. Stir in the granola. Add more if needed, you don't want the mixture to be runny.

2.     Drop balls into a mini muffin silicon tray as they stay locked in position which I found easier, although you can just use a tray – depends on freezer size. Make sure they are firm to touch before removing.

3.     Melt the chocolate. Then pour over the clusters so it locks it all in at the top. If you take it out you can coat it fully but i find its too much chocolate. Then return to the freezer to set.

4.     Enjoy!

Notes:

  1. I would keep them in the freezer permanently as they will soften in the fridge and they taste nicer solid.
  2. Play around with the granola and add what you prefer, more seeds, nuts etc..
  3. You can use coconut oil, I just had MCT oil next to me. It will be the same.These are a perfect snack when you want something crunchy not too sweet but filling and healthy..
