Chocolate and Coconut Clusters

• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3 cups oats
• 1 cup fine desiccated coconut
• 1 tsp vanilla essence

Grease a baking sheet with butter. Put the butter, sugar, cocoa powder and milk in a pot.

Heat over medium heat, stirring until the mixture boils. Turn down the heat to low and cook for 5 minutes.

Stir in the oats, coconut and vanilla essence. Stir until well mixed.

Take 2 teaspoons and form small clusters of the warm mixture on the baking sheet.

Leave on the baking sheet to cool down completely. The clusters should be cold and firm.
