Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut*
  • 8 ounces white chocolate chips
  • 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 Tablespoons yellow cake mix
  • 2 Tablespoons sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF.
  • Pour coconut into an even layer on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned, watching closely so it doesn't burn. Remove pan from oven and allow to cool.
  • Heat chocolate chips in microwave for one minute. Remove and stir in vegetable oil. If mixture is still lumpy, return to microwave for 15-20 more seconds, remove from microwave and stir until smooth. Stir in yellow cake mix. Add shredded coconut and sprinkles and continue stirring until fully incorporated.
  • Using a small cookie scoop (or two spoons), drop mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Add more sprinkles on top, if desired. Refrigerate until chocolate has set, about 20 minutes.

Notes

*I found a finer shred of coconut in the bulk aisle of a local grocery store.
