Instructions
PREP: Start by preparing a baking sheet by lining with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
MELT CHOCOLATE: Coarsely chop the chocolate and place it in a microwave-safe bowl with the oil. Microwave the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between intervals until it is fully melted. Add the cereal to the melted chocolate and stir until cereal is well coated.
MAKE CLUSTERS: Use a spoon to immediately drop the chocolate-covered cereal into small clusters onto the prepared baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
STORAGE: Once the clusters have hardened, store them in an airtight container or resealable bag in the fridge. Refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. Avoid storing them at room temperature as it can cause melting or loss of freshness.

Notes
Note 1: Chocolate bar: Use a good-quality chocolate bar for the best flavor! Our favorite is Lindt® dark chocolate with sea salt--so good! But for a more "authentic" copycat flavor, use a 3.5 oz. milk chocolate bar instead. If the chocolate isn't salted, add a teeny pinch of salt to amp up all the flavors/balance sweetness.Note 2: Jazz 'em up: You can also add in other ingredients such as nuts or dried fruits to give the clusters a different texture and flavor. You could even drizzle white chocolate over the finished clusters for a fun and unique twist.Nutrition information is calculated for the whole batch.
