Chocolate Haystacks

This is a simple recipe but is AMAZING!!

Ingredients:
> 4-? cups of coconut (really just as much as you want)
> 2-? cups of chocolate (first off its is better to have cooking chocolate because normal chocolate    does not harden and second of all its is really up to you on how much chocolate you use)

Directions:
>  Cook coconut in the oven on a cookie sheet for 10-15 minutes (until mostly golden brown).
> Add chocolate to coconut and stir until chocolate is melted, or take clumps of coconut and dip them into the chocolate (they will dry in little mounds like haystacks, see picture below).
