For those who enjoy the flavorful combination of chocolate and coconut, this recipe is for you. With all due respect, the Mounds candy bar must now step aside.

Be warned ~ they are very addictive.

Ingredients for the Ganosh:
1 cup heavy cream
2 Tbls light Karo syrup
10 oz sweet dark chocolate

Heat heavy cream to a boil. Stir in chopped chocolate and Karo. Set aside.

Ingredients for petit fours:
1 cup sugar
4 egg whites
½ cup water
3½ cups shredded sweetened coconut

Cook water and sugar to 235°F (soft ball consistency). While sugar is cooking whip whites. When sugar is cooked, slowly add to whites while whipping. Blend for about 5 minutes.

Add coconut and stir. Spread onto a papered cookie sheet and bake until golden brown at 350°F.

Cool completely; then, cut in half. Spread ganosh on one half. Then place the remaining half on top of this one. Spread the top of this with ganosh also.

Chill before cutting into squares.
