Toasted Coconut Bonbons

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.
