My Grandpa and grandma would always have shaved and toasted coconut chips. I loved them - but as I think of them now they probably would not rate very high on the healthy food scale; they were crispy, greasy, salty, and Oh so delicious...

They came in a can similar to the Pic-Nic brand canned shoestring potatoes so many people use on that hideous "green bean & shoestring" cassarole pot luck dish that shows up at every church dinner.

What a great thrill to open that lid and smell the wonderful aroma of those crispy coconut treats.

Can they still be purchased? Does anyone have a recipe for making them?

I don't remember ever having those types of coconut chips, but it sure reminded me of Banana Chips!!! You know the ones you find in the tropical trail mix? After eating them for five minutes you begin to wonder if your fillings in your mouth will with stand the Banana abuse.
