Ingredients:
2 egg whites
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup Earth & Vine Provisions Caribbean Banana Caramel Culinary Sauce
3 ½ cups sweetened coconut flakes
¾ cups all-purpose flour
8 oz dark chocolate

Preparation:
In a heat proof bowl over a pan of simmering water whisk together egg whites, sugar and Caribbean Banana Caramel Culinary Sauce for 5 to 8 minutes or until sugar is dissolved and mixture is creamy.

Combine coconut and flour in a medium bowl and mix in egg mixture until well blended. Refrigerate mixture for 1 hour or overnight. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Scoop coconut macaroons with a small 2 oz ice cream scoop onto a greased baking sheet and cook at 325 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until macaroons are a light golden.  Remove from oven and let cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer macaroons to a rack and let cool completely.

Melt chocolate in a double boiler or a stainless steel bowl over a pot of boiling water until completely melted, whisking to keep chocolate smooth. Remove from heat, dip macaroons half way in chocolate and place on wax paper to let cool.
