4. Transfer to a medium bowl.
5. Sprinkle remaining coconut over mixture, and combine with your fingers.
6. Place an 8 tart parn with a removeable bottom on a baking sheet.
7. Press coconut mixture into bottom and up sides of pan to form a crust, leaving top edges loose and fluffy.
8. Place a ring of aluminum foil over edge to prevent burning.

14. Let sit 10 minutes, and stir until chocolate is melted and combined.
