For anyone with a sweet tooth, this is a wonderful and tasty treat to enjoy. You could buy frozen grated coconut, but if you're grating it yourself about a half of one coconut is needed.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover coconut cream. I always have a can or two on hand, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them in.

This candy was a bit too hard for my liking. I think I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try cutting the sugar in half next time.
