Recipe: Besitos de Coco (Coconut Smooches)

Rank: Easy

Ingredients

• Meat of one fresh medium coconut, grated


• 2 cup water


• 2 2/3 cups dark brown sugar

Directions

1. Combine the water and sugar in a heavy bottomed saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until it becomes like a hard ball or reaches 375 degrees F.
