This is was quick and delicous treat, I love the combination of ingredients. I used a very dark chocolate which was good but I think it would be better with the semisweet chocolate called for in the recipe or even milk chocolate. I was easily able to cut the recipe down to a small portion which keeps this less of temptation! Thanks for sharing, Made for ZWT 7 by a Food.commando

Oh my gosh, these are so good! Toasting the coconut really adds wonderful flavor to the candy. I really wish I had doubled the recipe cause it sure didn't last long here at my house. Made for ZWT 7, Count Dracula and his Hot Bites.

Great way to cure a little sweet craving! I didn't have enough peanuts to make 1 cup so I mixed in some almonds and cashews too. I thought that worked out great. I popped these in the freezer for about 30 minutes and then moved them to the fridge, they were set up in no time! Made for ZWT 7.

Oh my goodness - these are fabulous! I needed a quick chocolate pick me up today and this definitely fits the bill. Cooling within 5 minutes. I loved having the toasted coconut - that takes these over the top. I bet they would be wonderful with chopped almonds too! Thanks for sharing during ZWT7!!
