Directions

1. Spread the coconut about 1/4 inch thick on a broiler pan covered in aluminum foil. Toast the cocounut in the broiler, stirring frequently, until it starts to brown. Watch carefully! Once it starts toasting, it can burn quickly. This may require 2 - 3 batches depending on the size of your broiler.
2. Put the toasted coconut into a large bowl. Use your hands to break up the chunks into smaller pieces.
3. Gently melt the chocolate in a microwave or double boiler, stirring until all is melted, taking care not to burn the chocolate.
4. Mix the melted chocolate into the coconut until fully incorporated.
5. Using two teaspoons, scoop the mixture onto the foiled pans in small mounds.
6. Place the pans in the refrigerator until the candies get hard. Gently place them in cookie tins or small boxes to give as gifts. Remember to reward yourself for your hard work!
