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,
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
