Ingredients

3 ounces Dark Chocolate 55% for sweet treats, 70% for medium sweet, or 85% for low sugar (note 1)
1 cup Protein Cereal (note 2)
1 teaspoon Coconut Oil (note 3)
1 pinch Sea Salt Flakes optional

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

First, pick the type of chocolate you love. For very low-sugar, low-carb clusters, pick 85% cocoa or 70% for a sweeter treat. For a very sweet cluster, use 55% cocoa chocolate.
Line a large board or plate that fits the width of your freezer with lightly oiled parchment paper to prevent the clusters from sticking to the paper. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe glass bowl or non-stick sauce pan, add the squares of chocolate and coconut oil.
Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each until fully melted. Or bring over low-medium heat and stir with a rubber spatula until melted. Remove from heat.
Fold the protein cereal and stir with the rubber spatula to evenly cover.
Drop 2 tablespoons of chocolate coated cereals on the prepared sheets and repeat, leaving some space between each cluster. I made 8 clusters.
Pop the sheet in the freezer for 10-12 minutes until the chocolate hardens and the clusters and set.
Serve with a pinch of sea salt flakes.

Notes

Note 1: Any chocolate work in this recipe, the choice of chocolate depends on your tastebuds and sweetness expectations. I like high-quality degustation chocolate bars from 70% cocoa to 85% cocoa. But if you have a sweet tooth, 55% cocoa makes delicious sweet clusters.

Note 2: You can use any cereals for this recipe, like cornflakes, Nutri Grains, puffed quinoa, soy crisp but my go to are the protein cereals by Catalina Crunch - the cinnamon or maple flavors goes so well with the dark chocolate in the cluster.

Note 3: Any oil can be used as soon as it's low in flavor. Other choice are avocado oil or light olive oil.

Storage: Store the clusters in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Freeze them for up to 1 month in Ziploc bags, eat frozen or thaw for 30 minutes at room temperature before.
