Step 1: Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats to ensure the No-bake Mint Chocolate Chip Clusters don’t stick.
Step 2: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips and the coconut oil.
Step 3: Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
Step 4: Stir in the peppermint extract until fully incorporated into the melted chocolate.
Step 5: Gently fold in the crispy rice cereal (or pretzels) and the mini chocolate chips until everything is evenly coated.
Step 6: Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets to form the No-bake Mint Chocolate Chip Clusters.
Step 7: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the No-bake Mint Chocolate Chip Clusters are firm and set.
