Coconut Crunch Chocolate Cups - a super easy homemade candy recipe for white chocolate and coconut lovers. You will love these crunchy cups!
Also, it's December which means Christmas month is here! So bring on the homemade candy, cookies and hot chocolate!

Recently, I discovered a new (at least to me) chocolate bar at ALDI's. It's white chocolate coconut bar with crispy rice! You guys, I am obsessed! I've always been a white chocolate fan so I just had to try it! It is so good. But one look at the ingredients and I knew I had to make it at home, mini cups style!
You are going to LOVE these Coconut Crunch Chocolate Cups!
Ingredients:
- white chocolate chips
- shredded coconuts
- crispy rice
- coconut or vegetable oil
I love chocolate cups because they only require a few ingredients and you can make so many different kinds. Dark chocolate with nuts, peanut butter and chocolate and of course this white chocolate coconut version. I think adding crispy rice to the mix is quite brilliant! Crunchy, sweet and addicting - these chocolate cups are perfect to make for holiday parties or pack and give to friends and family.
You can also add Christmas sprinkles on top of each cup (or any sprinkles that fit the party or season theme) for even more festive touch. Enjoy, friends!

Janine says
I’m wanting to make these for Christmas just wondering how long they will last before they start going soft so I can work out when to make them.
Sandy says
Hi Janine, I made these and they do not “go soft”. They stay crunchy after they set up.
Sherri O Roberts says
how could a total of 2 1/2 cups ingredients make 16 cups servings?
Anna says
Hi Sherri! The candy is called "chocolate cups". It makes 16 of those.
Wanda says
also can you use white chocolate bark instead of the chips ?
Anna says
That should work!
Wanda says
What is crispy rice please never heard of it ,, rice crispies ??
Anna says
Hi Wanda! It is a puffed rice cereal, very popular here in the United States. Hope this helps!
Ellen says
Easy lovely. Great addition to my holiday candy menu.
Mommaof2 says
Went to the store to buy the goodies for this scrumptious lookin treat and I forgot the rice krispys! 🙁 wonder if Cheerios would work??
Paula says
Making these tonight! Why do you add oil? Also--would sweetened coconut flakes be fine too?
Connie says
I’m wondering the same about the sweetened coconut.
Pat says
Can these be frozen
Roslyn marrazxo says
How long will they stay refrigerated,
Linda says
Why do you add the oil?
Luann says
Could the coconut crunch chocolate cups be made with dark or semi-sweet chocolate instead of the white? I'm not a fan of white chocolate...but love the dark.
Anna says
Hi Luann! You can use any chocolate you like. I hope you love this recipe!
Margaret Hopkins says
Hi Luann, I make these also, but I mix butterscotch chips in with my white or milk chocolate when I make them because it's a personal preference of my husband.
adele says
I assume that krispy rice is the same as Rice Krispy

JT says
Hi! Where do you find unsweetened coconut? Is it the dried kind? I have frozen unsweetened coconut but I don't think that would work in this recipe?
Chris says
Is the coconut oil 1 tsp melted out 1 tsp solid?
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Chris! It should be solid. I'll add that to the recipe. Let me know how the cups turn out and how you like them! Have a beautiful day! -Anna
