Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 package fudge stripe shortbread cookies (about 20-24 cookies)
  • 1 (11 oz) package caramel bits
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 cups toasted coconut
  • 2 squares chocolate CandiQuik You can use regular chocolate as a substitute, make sure to temper it.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a baking sheet with foil and arrange the fudge stripe shortbread cookies, stripe-side up, about 1-2 inches apart.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel bits and heavy cream. Microwave on high for about 30 seconds and stir until smooth.
  3. If clumpy, microwave for an additional 15-20 seconds, stirring until smooth.
  4. Fold in the toasted coconut until well combined.
  5. Spoon a tablespoon of the coconut caramel mixture onto each cookie, spreading it generously.
  6. In a small bowl, microwave the chocolate CandiQuik on high for about 30 seconds, stirring until melted and smooth.
  7. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookies using a piping method with a sandwich bag.
  8. Allow the chocolate to set for about 15-20 minutes before serving.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature. Toasting the coconut adds nuttiness; be careful to avoid burning. Spread the caramel quickly as it firms up when cooled.
