My Chocolate Dipped Coconut Macaroons are moist, chewy and perfectly sweet. The dark chocolate and coconut are a great combination and an excellent complement to one another. Making Chocolate Dipped Coconut Macaroons couldn’t be easier, rather than tempering chocolate (which can be a challenge) I simply melt dark chocolate chips and dip the macaroons in that. Quick, easy and delicious, it’s a fun recipe to get kids involved in and one they will definitely enjoy eating.
