Credit for the first treat goes to Mennonite Girls Can Cook, where I originally found the recipe.
Chewy Chocolate Clusters
1 12-oz pkg. chocolate chips
2/3 cups butter
1 bag marshmallows (large or mini)
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups crisp rice cereal
1 cup shredded coconut
Melt chocolate chips, and butter over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Add marshmallows; stir until melted and smooth.
Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla, then add cereal and coconut until dry ingredients are well-coated.
Drop by spoonfuls (or use a small ice cream scoop) onto a cookie sheet or on to waxed paper.
Roll in additional coconut if desired.
Chill until set.
Makes 4-6 dozen, depending on size.
