No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Coconutties

Yep, I totally made that name up. lol! After hearing about chocolate cravings most of the day yesterday and then having D pining for something sweet last night, I looked around my pantry to see what I had on hand that could make a nice, quick and easy dessert. These gluten free treats don’t look like anything spetactular, but they taste great. You can vary the flavor based upon what chocolate you use. For an extra punch of flavor, you could toast the coconut.
