Coconut Candy
This Coconut Candy is to die for and super easy to make! If you have someone in your life that loves coconut you need to make Candy! So easy to make with only 5 ingredients. Always keep the ingredients in your pantry so you can easily whip up a batch.
I think my husband thinks that coconut is one of the main food groups. So every year for the holidays I make him this candy. Perfectly sweet with a crunchy outside and moist on the inside.
When you look at the recipe you might think this Coconut Candy should be a cookie….well….maybe it should but I think it’s more like candy than cookies.
Pin this for future holiday candy making.

It so is one of the main food groups! We love coconut in our house, and I can’t wait to try making these! Pinned 🙂
These sound awesome, Sheryl. I have to remember to make up some of these for the cookie plates. We are hosting Holiday Best at Tumbleweed Contessa and I’d love it if you shared these with us.

Does flaked coconut mean the sweetened kind, like Baker’s? Thank you.
Hi Karen, Yes flaked coconut is sweetened. Flaked coconut is much larger then shredded.
