Chocolate-topped Coconut Philly Fudge

Description
This Pennsylvania-style fudge is made, mixed and packed with real cream cheese, grated coconuts, and vanilla, and is great for dessert, as it delivers a glorious, bold aroma that it relishes and enhances with chocolate and the vanilla content while cold to eat. You can make this with honey, yogurt, and fruits in a fudge, while the effort and flavor are worth it.
