I have three words to say about these chocolate candy clusters…to die for! They are unbelievable easy to make and everyone who has tried thought they tasted great. While I didn’t give them to anyone as a gift, they are impressive enough to present as such.

Quick Tips: Keeping these tucked in your fridge or freezer for a quick healthy indulgence is not a bad idea. Yes, they contain sugar so we need to be mindful of how many we eat but if eaten sparingly (and only one at a time) this would be a much better option than housing a doughnut or a hot fudge sundae 😉
