Combine sweetened condensed milk and chocolate in a saucepan over low heat; cook for about 10 minutes, or until mixture is thick.

Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Stir in coconut; blend well. Butter 6 muffin cups; pack about 1/4 cup of the coconut mixture into each cup. Bake at 350° for about 20 minutes, until edges are firm.

Gently lift nests from pans; cool thoroughly.

To serve, fill with a big scoop of "ice cream" and top with Magic sauce and chopped nuts, if desired.

Note from BL: I used my silicon muffin cups and did not need to greased/butter them
