Coconut Candy

Coconut candy, also known as coconut sweet or “kayan kwado” in some Nigerian dialects, is a delightful snack made from shredded coconut and sugar. It’s a popular treat in many parts of the world, including West Africa and the Caribbean. The preparation involves cooking grated coconut with sugar until the mixture thickens and caramelizes. The mixture is then shaped into small pieces or bars and left to cool and harden. Coconut candy has a rich, sweet flavor with a chewy texture, making it a beloved snack for those who enjoy coconut. It’s often enjoyed on its own as a sweet treat or used as a topping for desserts.
