Coconut cherry chews appeal to all demographics because of their fruity and sweet flavor, chewy texture, and vibrant color. They are relatively simple to make, and only require a few pantry staple ingredients. The most important part of the cooking process is keeping the temperature low enough so that the coconut does not burn, while being high enough for the sugar to caramelize and form a soft, chewy candy texture. These coconut cherry chews are a great treat to have on hand for parties, potlucks, or as an after-school snack.
