5. Place crushed ROCA over the coconut (any flavor will work well)

6. Pour sweetened condensed milk, covering each of the heart-shaped cookies

7. Bake in oven at 350˚F for 15-20 minutes, until dark golden brown in color

8. Remove from oven and while still hot, sprinkle a few milk chocolate chips on top of half of the cookies, reserving some for later.

10. Stack the remaining cookies (not covered with chocolate) on top of the others, making them double layered

11. Spread across the top and garnish as desired
