yummmmm... coconut candy :-)
I've never made it, but if you have a good recipe I'd sure give it a try!
So, how did it turn out?

I just got through posting a thread on sex shops, and thought that "Coconut Candy" would be a great name for a stripper.

My mom used to make a chewy taffy like coconut candy... always loved it, but never got the recipe....
Is yours a chewy candy, a brittle candy or a fudge like one?
Actually all are good... just would love to revisit the candy mom made!

Here is a recipe that I've got in my online cookbook at Allrecipe.com. Someday I'll make it! Makes 12
Ingredients
* 1 1/2 cups milk
* 4 cups white sugar
* 4 cups flaked coconut
* 1 dash vanilla extract
Directions
1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, stir together milk and sugar until smooth. Heat, without stirring, to between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface. Remove from heat and stir in coconut and vanilla. Let cool slightly.
2. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto waxed paper lined sheets and let cool completely.

Oh, Royal, you have become such a kitchen whiz!!
I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"
