Remove the mini chocolate cups from their packaging and place onto a tray. Set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cream cheese, mashed potatoes, powdered sugar and vanilla.
Mix well with a spatula.
Add 1 cup of the shredded coconut to the potato mixture and combine well.
Spoon this candy mixture into each of the chocolate shells.
In a small zip-lock bag, place the 1/2 cup of shredded coconut and the 1-2 crops of green food coloring. Close the bag tightly.
Using your fingers, massage the coconut in the bag to distribute the food coloring.
Sprinkle a little bit of the green coconut onto each filled chocolate cup, then place 2 or 3 jelly beans on top of that.
Store in the refrigerator and serve chilled.
