FOR THE ROLLS:
2 packages Seamless Refrigerated Crescent Roll Dough (Pillsbury, 8 Ounce Packages)
1/2 cups Butter, Melted
4 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
4 teaspoons Cinnamon
FOR THE FROSTING:
1/4 cups Butter
1/4 cups Brown Sugar
1 pinch Salt
2 Tablespoons Milk
1/2 teaspoons Vanilla
1 cup Powdered Sugar
2 cups Shredded Un-sweetened Coconut, Toasted (see Note)
1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

1
Preheat oven to 375 F. Roll out one can of dough on a lightly floured work surface. Brush with half of the melted butter.
2
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle half of the sugar mixture over the dough. Starting with the long side, roll up the dough. Cut into 12 equal-sized slices and place rolls, cut side up into a greased 9 x 13 baking pan. Repeat this procedure with the second can of dough and remaining ingredients.
3
Bake the pans of rolls for 15-18 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and let them cool slightly.
4
While rolls are baking prepare frosting. In a saucepan over low heat, melt butter and sugar together. Once melted, stir in salt. Cook for 2 minutes. Add milk. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Let it cool a bit before whisking in powdered sugar.
5
Pour frosting over the warm rolls. Sprinkle toasted coconut over the top of the frosting, gently pressing coconut into frosting.
6
Melt chocolate chips using your preferred method (in a saucepan on low heat or heat for 30 second increments in the microwave) then drizzle over the coconut.
7
To toast coconut: Preheat oven to 300 F. Spread coconut in an even layer on a baking sheet. Toast coconut for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent burning.
