As much as I love coconut, I love toasted coconut even more. These little thumbprints are rolled in coconut, and that coconut gets all toasty in the oven. Then, just add a simple caramel filling that's made with just soft caramels and cream. I have become a big fan of Werther's Original® Baking Caramels. I love the flavor, and they're so.
