Layered Peanut Butter Dessert Dip

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup marshmallow crème
1/2 cup thawed Cool Whip topping
1/4 cup coconut, toasted *
1 ounce semi-sweet chocolate
2 Tablespoons chopped peanuts

*How to toast coconut:  Spread coconut evenly in shallow baking pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 7 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring frequently.  Or, spread in microwaveable pie plate.  Microwave on HIGH 3 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring every minute.  Watch carefully as coconut can easily burn.

Spread peanut butter onto an 8 inch pie plate.  Mix marshmallow crème and Cool Whip until blended.  Spread over peanut butter.  Top with remaining ingredients.

TIM'S NOTES:  Thinly sliced apples are a nice complement to this dip.  My only suggestion is if you microwave the coconut (most practical on a hot day) only microwave it 8 to 10 seconds at a time and stir it.  My carousel in the microwave stopped working, so it doesn't rotate evenly, so I had to check it often.  If your carousel rotates, then maybe the original directions might work for you, but I am very leery...
