  • 16 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
  • 1 cup brown sugar

    Preheat oven to 325° F. Spread coconut evenly onto a cookie sheet and bake for 5-10 minutes until lightly toasted.

    Remove from microwave and carefully stir in baking soda (mixture will become frothy).

    Immediately pour over Chex™ cereal in the paper bag. Stir gently to coat cereal... Fold top of bag down and place in microwave.
  • Step

    Cook for 3 minutes on high, stopping each minute to take the bag out and shake it. Remove from microwave and spread on greased cookie sheets to cool.
  • Step 
    7
    Sprinkle 1 cup coconut over mixture while still warm (so it will stick to the cereal).

    While cereal is cooling, place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and cook on high at 30 second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
  • Step
