- ⅓ cup (75 g) Melted butter
- 2 cups (170 g) Desiccated coconut
- 200 grams (200 grams) Rose Pink Chocolate or candy melts

Instructions
- Prepare the Coconut Mixture - Combine the desiccated coconut, melted butter, and sweetened condensed milk in a large mixing bowl. Stir the mixture until the ingredients are well incorporated. You should have a thick, sticky coconut mixture.1 cup Condensed Milk , 2 cups Desiccated coconut, ⅓ cup Melted butter
- Shape the Hearts - Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal. Transfer the coconut mixture to the lined pan, spreading it out evenly. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to press the mixture firmly, ensuring it is compacted and smooth.
- Chill the Mixture - Place the baking pan in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 1-2 hours or until the coconut mixture has set. It won't be hard, but it will be easy to cut into shapes.
- Cut Out Heart Shapes - Remove the coconut mixture from the refrigerator once it has chilled and set. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out heart shapes from the coconut mixture. Carefully lift each heart-shaped piece out of the pan and place it on a parchment paper-lined tray or plate. Neaten the edges if necessary.
- Prepare the Pink Chocolate Coating - In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt the pink rose chocolate, stirring until smooth and completely melted.200 grams Rose Pink Chocolate
- Coat the Hearts - Dip each coconut heart into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork or a dipping tool to remove excess chocolate, allowing it to drip back into the bowl. Place the chocolate-coated hearts back onto the parchment paper-lined tray or plate. You can decorate these further with mini decorations such as candy hearts, dragees, sprinkles, etc.Mini heart dragees for decorations
