There is something about coconut that makes me ohh so happy. I love it, and I grew to love it more because of my older sister Abby. When we were teenagers, she loved coconut macaroons; well she loved basically anything with coconut. And now thanks to her, I have a love for anything with coconut.
Now pairing coconut with peanut butter AND chocolate! Now that is a dream! The flavors in these clusters are perfect, and I can’t get enough of these! My kids love them, too.
Make these for your next gathering or just because you have a sweet tooth. Enjoy!

Yum! At first, these treats appear to be quite indulgent, but they’re actually full of healthy ingredients. It’s like a cross between an oatmeal cookie and a macaroon. Love it 🙂
These are incredible!!!! I had a huge chocolate craving today so decided to try these, and oh YUM!!!!!! I didn’t have peanut butter on hand so I used almond butter instead & they were so delicious! Just the right amount of sweetness, and really satisfying so I didn’t feel the need to eat the whole batch (even though I wanted to ?)
I love no-bake cookies, but I’ve never thought to add coconut to them! What a great idea! These look absolutely delicious too.
