Toasted Coconut Bonbons
- 1-1/4 cup Coconut, Toasted
- 2 cups Milk Chocolate Chips, Melted
- 2 Tablespoons Cocoa Butter (optional)
- Toast coconut by spreading it out on a cookie sheet and placing in a 350 degree (F) oven for 5-10 minutes. You want it nice and brown. Even if it tastes a little burnt, it will taste heavenly in the chocolate!! Trust me.
- Melt chocolate chips with cocoa butter in a double boiler (if you don't have cocoa butter, it won't matter, it just adds a little pizzazz to the chocolate chips - most of the nicer, more expensive chocolate has cocoa butter in it).
- Once everything is melted and smooth, add the toasted coconut and mix evenly.
- Drop the mixture onto a greased cookie sheet using two teaspoons. I make them approximately 1/2 - 3/4" diameter. You could also spoon right into candy cups.
- When the last bonbon has been dropped, place them in the freezer for about 5-10 minutes. Take them out and place in a container. Or eat them all right then - I may or may not have done that.
