**Schoko Manner**
**Ingredients:**
– 200g dark chocolate, chopped
– 1 cup shredded coconut
– 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
**Instructions:**
1. **Prepare the Chocolate Coating:**
– In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring well between each interval until smooth.
– Once melted, set aside to cool slightly while you prepare the coconut marshmallow mixture.
2. **Make the Coconut Marshmallow Filling:**
– In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined and the mixture holds together.
3. **Shape the Schoko Manner:**
– Take a small amount of the coconut mixture and gently shape it into a small, flattened disc about the size of a traditional Schoko Manner.
– Place the formed coconut discs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all the coconut mixture is used.
4. **Coat the Coconut Discs:**
– Using a fork, dip each coconut disc into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is completely coated.
– Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before returning the coated disc to the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
5. **Chill and Set:**
– Once all the coconut discs are coated in chocolate, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to allow the Schoko Manner to set for about 30 minutes to an hour.
6. **Serve and Enjoy:**
– Once the chocolate coating has hardened, your Schoko Manner are ready to be enjoyed!
– Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, though we doubt they’ll last that long!
