I love making sweet treats for the holidays, especially Easter.  I really like making easy, festive treats that you can give as gifts or set out on a Easter dessert platter, and these coconut cups are perfect.

These coconut cups start with a chocolate base, an easy, creamy, luscious coconut filling and topped with more chocolate and the cutest holiday sprinkles.  

I like to use a little regular chocolate on the bottom and white chocolate on top to make the sprinkles really pop, but you can use any combo of chocolate you like.  You can totally make these your own.

The creamy coconut layer is made up of coconut, sweetened condensed milk and powdered sugar to create the luscious filling.  It is nice and sweet and tastes even better than the store-bought candy.

When it comes to the chocolate for these coconut candies you can use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, semi-sweet or white chocolate, or even a mixture like I did here. 

I topped mine with these adorable sprinkles I got from Amazon.  You could also just drizzle pastel chocolates over the top and they would be gorgeous!

RECIPE FAQS

Where can I find the sprinkles?

I got these sprinkles HERE from Amazon, but you can top these with any sprinkles you find at the store.  I find the craft stores actually have a great selection of holiday sprinkles.

Can I add nuts?

Of course!! These would be delicious with some toasted peanuts, pecans or almonds mixed into the filling.

Which chocolate works best?

Any chocolate you like will be delicious in this recipe.  I do prefer to use a melting chocolate or almond bark, or candy melts.  Sometimes chocolate chips can give you a little trouble melting but usually adding a little oil will fix that. 

Ingredients 

  • Shredded coconut –  I use sweetened shredded coconut for this recipe.  You can certainly elevate this recipe and toast the coconut first if you like.  
  • Powdered sugar –  This helps the filling come together and give it that melt in your mouth texture. 
  • Sweetened condensed milk – Keeps the filling rich and luscious! 
  • Vanilla extract –  Just a little bit to add a bit of flavor to the filling. 
  • Chocolate almond bark –  I use this on the bottom of the cups because the chocolate goes so well with the coconut flavor. 
  • White almond bark  –  I use white almond bark on the top so the sprinkles really pop. 
  • Easter sprinkles –  You can use any sprinkles you like.
