Start to melt the chocolate in a double saucepan. Chop up the snakes and marshmallows in a bowl. Add in the coconut and M&M's Once the Chocolate is melted add in a few drops of wild orange or the good ol peppermint oil if you like. Then pour the chocolate over the top and mix with a melt spoon. Spoon it in a lined slice tray and refrigerate. then cut into square and wrap in cellphone with some ribbon  :)
