To toast the coconut, place a small skillet over medium heat. Cook the coconut, stirring frequently, until golden. Remove from heat immediately.

If desired, you can use a simple vanilla buttercream instead of the rum frosting.

Made these and since my family isn't big on coconut I used walnuts instead. I chopped them up and used it as garnish. It was great !

Made these for my 31st birthday party, and them were a hit. Even the non-drinkers tried them. I will be saving this recipe to use over and over again.
