Chocolate Peanut Butter Snowflake Stacks
Makes 36 stacks

1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips (we used Sunspire Organic 42% Cacao Baking Chips)
1 c. peanut butter chips
3 c. Kellogg’s All Bran
1/2 c. unsweetened shredded coconut

In a glass bowl, heat chocolate chips and peanut butter chips until melted. Make sure not to burn them – check occasionally and stir as needed. Pour All Bran in a large bowl. Once chocolate peanut butter mixture is melted, pour on top of All Bran. Mix well with a soft spatula, making sure not to break the All Bran. Spoon dollops of the mixture onto parchment paper – about the size of a rolled cookie dough ball. Sprinkle the top of each stack with coconut. Refrigerate for about 20 minutes to harden.
