Access custom annotations from other classes in Spring 4

I'm still a beginner at Spring, and am learning about custom Annotations as qualifiers. Can you access custom annotations created in another class?

Creating my annotation:

public class Annotations {
    @Target({ElementType.CONSTRUCTOR, ElementType.FIELD,
            ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.TYPE})
    @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
    @Qualifier
    public @interface ChocolateChip{ }
}

Declaring my Bean

@Bean
@Dessert.Annotations.ChocolateChip
public Dessert ChocolateChipBrownie(){
    Brownies brownie = new Brownies();
    brownie.hasChocolateChips(true);
    return brownie;
}

It's not recognizing the Annotations Class and I don't know why. I've tried importing the class but no luck. When I move the declaration into my config class it works fine so the problem isn't with my creation of the annotation.

Any ideas?
