Real pineapple and shredded coconut are mixed with white chocolate to form delectable pina colada clusters. The recipe calls for dried pineapple, but you can substitute fresh pineapple chunks if you desire. To use fresh pineapple, drain the chunks in a colander and pat them dry with paper towels. Chop the chunks into small pieces with a knife and proceed as directed in the recipe.
