These no-bake chocolate coconut clusters are a delightful treat that combines the rich flavor of chocolate with the chewy texture of oats and coconut.
Combine the sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa powder in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Stir constantly to prevent the mixture from burning or sticking to the pan.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then let it boil for 1 minute while stirring.
Timing is crucial; boiling for exactly one minute ensures the right consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the oats, coconut flakes, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Work quickly to mix everything before the mixture starts to set.
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto wax paper and let them cool and set for about 1 hour.
Use a tablespoon to ensure evenly sized clusters for consistent serving sizes.
Serve the clusters once set and enjoy!
These clusters make a great snack or dessert for any occasion.
