Spread coconut flakes onto an ungreased baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake coconut in the preheated oven, stirring every 3 to 5 minutes, until toasted, about 10 minutes.

Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and slightly browned, 25 to 35 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.

Heat chocolate chips and milk in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching.
