It is easier to plunder the sweets aisle at your local supermarket than to make rum balls from the “Field Guide to Candy.” However, you can be sure your friends, family and office mates will be happy to eat your learning curve.

Coconut Ice – Old-Fashioned Sweet Shop Coconut Candy
A trip down Memory Lane! This is my mum’s recipe for Coconut Ice, little coconut squares which are coloured pink and white, and used to be popular in old-fashioned British sweet (candy) shops. My mum used to make trays and trays of these for our Church fêtes, as well as for Christmas and for gifts. These lovely little coconut morsels are very popular in Scotland where I think my mum’s recipe originated ? either from my Scottish grandmother or an auntie. These are great fun to make with the children, as they are easy as well as being "no-cook". If you plan to make them for gifts or to sell, pack them into attractive cellophane bags, glass jars or boxes and add a pretty ribbon as well as a label of ingredients and storage details. This recipe is part of my Old Fashioned Sweet Shop collection of recipes, sweets, candies, fudges, sugar plums and chocolates! — posted by French Tart
