CHOCOLATE COCONUT NUT CLUSTERS

Steps:

• Line 4 miniature muffin pans with candy cups; set them aside. (Or you can skip the paper candy cups and just drop these by the spoonful onto wax paper lined cookie sheets.).
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread the coconut and nuts on separate cookie sheets.
• Bake each until golden brown, about 9 minutes for the nuts and 10 for the coconut, stirring every few minutes to keep them from burning. Let them cool.
• Combine the toasted coconut and nuts in a medium-size bowl. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave according to the package directions.
• Add the melted chocolate to the coconut mixture; stir well. Drop the mixture by heaping teaspoonfuls into the candy cups (or directly onto lined cookie sheets). Chill until set, about 45 minutes.
• If desired, melt additional chocolate according to the package directions.
• Pour the contents into a zipper bag. Snip off a small corner of the bag, then drizzle the chocolate over the clusters.
• Chill until drizzle is set, about 15 minutes.
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

COCONUT PECAN GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• Place pecans and walnuts in a ziploc bag and crush with a mallet or rolling pin.
• In a large mixing bowl mix together oatmeal, coconut flakes, crushed pecans and walnuts, and raisins.
• In a smaller bowl stir together coconut oil, honey, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt.
• Pour the honey mixture over the oatmeal mixture and stir until coated well.
• Spread granola onto a large sheet pan and place in the preheated oven.
• Bake for 30 mins stirring every 10 so the granola doesn't burn.
• Cool on sheet pan then store in an airtight contain for up to one month.
• Note: When you remove the granola from the oven it will be brown but not crisp. It will crisp up as it cools. I stir every 15 mins while cooling because it starts sticking together.
