1 (11 oz.) package caramel bits
3 tablespoons heavy cream
2 cups shredded coconut, toasted*
2 squares chocolate candiquik (melting chocolate) or 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

*Place toasted coconut in a large pan and cook over low heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until coconut is lightly browned.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread Ritz cracker 2 inches apart. Set aside until ready to use.
Combine caramel candies and heavy cream in a large, microwaveable bowl, and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
