COCADAS (BOLIVIAN COCONUT CANDIES)
Cocadas are a typical coconut candy or cookie that is served in Mexico, Brazil and over much of Latin America. They are oven baked but are served at room temperature to obtain their chewy and soft texture. Made with egg and shredded coconut, cocadas come in a variety of colors due to the modern use of food coloring, but the traditional ones are golden brown. They are often garnished with almonds, either whole or chopped. There are hundreds of recipes for cocadas which range in texture from the typical hard, very sweet balls to those which are almost the texture of flan. Other fruit, often dried, can be added to the cocadas to create variety. Cocadas are mentioned as early as 1878 in Peru. This is a Bolivian version, from the website BoliviaWeb. In Colombia, cocadas are sold on the streets, and particularly on the beaches, by women who carry them on large aluminum trays

Steps:
- Heat the condensed milk, walnuts, and butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 15 minutes. Make sure you keep mixing the pan constantly with a wooden spoon. When the mixture begins to "dis-glue" from the pan or when you can see the bottom of the pan after scraping the wooden spoon on the bottom of the pan, you know the cooking process is over. This will happen shortly after the mixture reaches boiling point.
- Remove from heat and transfer mixture on a well greased plate.
- Let cool for 15 minutes.
- Grease your hands well and form 1 inch balls with your hands. Roll the balls into a plate full of finely chopped walnutes. Cover the ball well with the walnuts. You may need to wash your hands in between rolling out these candies, because after a while the mixture will begin clinging to your hands. Wash out your hands, grease them up again (I just use a spray bottle) and begin rolling again. Serve in miniature paper liners.
Tips:
- To make the walnut candies, start by toasting the walnuts in a preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are fragrant and golden brown.
- While the walnuts are toasting, prepare the sugar syrup by combining sugar, water, and lemon juice in a saucepan and bringing it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the syrup reaches a temperature of 240°F (115°C).
- Once the sugar syrup is ready, remove it from the heat and stir in the toasted walnuts. Pour the mixture onto a greased baking sheet and let it cool completely.
- Once the candy has cooled, break it into pieces and enjoy!
Conclusion:
Walnut candies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a formal party. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat to satisfy your cravings, give walnut candies a try!
