For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semisweet. Toasted coconut adds a delightful crunch and nutty flavor to the filling. Toast the coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown, then let it cool before adding it to the mixture. If you don't have waxed paper, parchment paper works just as well. Feel free to experiment with different extracts, such as almond or peppermint, for a unique twist. For easier dipping, use melting chocolate or add a teaspoon of coconut oil to the chocolate chips while melting to create a smoother consistency.
