• ¼ t. coconut extract optional
• ¼ c. powdered sugar
• 10 oz. dark chocolate melting wafers
• Toasted Coconut:

1. Place coconut in food processor; pulse until coconut is fine and not stringy; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, stir together condensed milk, melted butter, vanilla extract and coconut extract, if using. Pour in coconut; stir well. Add powdered sugar; stir until combined. Chill in refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
