Tasty Treat

~Coconut Candy~

I have the sweetest tooth ever. I am not kidding! But since I have been on this strict diet for Laien, it has been a struggle since I can't really have any chocolates, ice creams and pretty much all the amazing sugary mouth watering treats :'(

My husband bought some shredded coconuts. I don't know why he did, but I am kind of glad because it has become an excellent treat to satisfy my sweet cravings. 

Growing up there were coconut trees everywhere...I would drink, eat and snack on them all the time. I remember a special treat that my mom made for us that I enjoyed a lot. It is easy, quick and delish!!!

Here's the simple recipe of how to make this sugary treat:

What you will need:

- Sauce Pan

- Wooden Spatula

- Granulated Sugar

- Shredded Coconut (I used Bob's Red Mill Shredded Coconut)

Instructions:

1. Pour granulated sugar into the saucepan. (As much as you want)

2. Melt sugar until it turns brown. (Don't burn the sugar!)

3. Once it is brown, remove from heat and add the shredded coconut.

4. Stir the coconut and sugar until it is all incorporated. 

Enjoy!!!

**I made these treats just the other night for the missionaries and my husband. They loved them. They said it tasted like the Samoas Caramel Delight Girls Scout Cookies. I think it'll be even tastier if you drizzle some melted chocolate on it.

**Also, you can soak the shredded coconut on water first to get a softer chewy candy. I like mine crunchy so I usually just use it as is.
