My funniest memory of making coconut candy was at Yigo Elementary School when we were all waiting for the sugar to melt; it was salt in the pot. But, teachers to the rescue and there was plenty of sugar to share. The small of caramelized sugar and fresh coconut is an exceptional experience. You must make some!

The picture above was a recipe entry to the Food Network's Magazine contest for coconut recipes. I did not win, but it was fun decorating the candy. Traditionally, Guam coconut candy is simply rolled into balls without the coating of fresh coconut or the addition of nuts. However, it does make for a pretty platter!
