Melt 12 oz. semi-sweet or milk chocolate (your preference) , either chips or chopped up, in top of double-boiler or in a glass or stainless steel bowl set over a pot of simmering (not boiling) water. Don't let a drop of water into the chocolate or it will sieze up. Stir about 1/2 cup finely chopped toasted coconut into the melted chocolate. Lower heat under pot of water to very low to keep chocolate melted. Stir often. Using a small spoon, line bottom and half-way up sides of aluminum cupcake liners with a thin layer of chocolate mixture. (Remember to leave about 1/3 of mixture for tops of candy cups.) Chill to set. You can make your own marshmallow creme or fluff, but it would have to be kept refrigerated because of the egg whites. I'd use Kraft's. Spoon or pipe marshmallow creme into chocolate cups, leaving 1/8 to 1/4 inch of chocolate showing on sides. Fill to top edge of chocolate with the remaining melted choco-coconut mixture, spreading to seal. Chill to set. The aluminum liners should peel right off, not sure the paper ones would. This will probably make about 10-12 candy cups,
