Place the butter, eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt in a bowl. Beat everything with the whisk attachment of a hand mixer until fluffy. Sift in the flour and baking powder, then pour in the milk. Mix all ingredients until smooth. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Spread the dough onto the tray and smooth it out with a spatula. Bake in the oven at 200°C for 25 minutes, then let cool. Break the chocolate coating into large pieces. Bring the milk, sugar, butter, chocolate coating, and rum to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat, stir, and let cool. Cut the dough into 3×3 cm cubes. Place the coconut flakes in a bowl. Place each cube on a fork, dip them in the chocolate-rum sauce, dip them briefly, and let them drip dry on the fork. Use a fork to lower the pastry cubes into the coconut flakes and roll them in the mixture. Place on a wire rack to dry for 1 hour.
