Heat oven to 300 degrees. On a baking sheet, toast sweetened coconut. Turning every 5 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool. Using parchment paper cover separate baking sheet; set wafers on top. In a microwavable bowel, microwave caramels and milk on high, stirring until smooth. Should take about 4 minutes. Fold sweetened coconut into caramel mixture. Spread about 1 tbsp. caramel mixture onto each wafer. Let cookies cool completely (I put cookies in refrigerator for this step) Next microwave chocolate, stir often, until melted. Should take about 3 minutes. Transfer chocolate into reusable bag. Snip tiny portion of bag corner. Drizzle cookies with chocolate, let cool.
