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!

janet says
is there a substitute for coconut? Cant do peanuts either because of food allergy! Would pretzels work? or marshmellows mini?
Sandy says
I doubled the recipe because I knew it wouldn’t be enough. LoL. I was right !! These are so so festive and disappear fast. Thank you for sharing !!
Anna says
Haha! I love that! Thank you so much, Sandy!
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
Anna says
Yes!
Erin says
These would disappear in our house!
