Coconut ice

I know I haven't posted in a REALLY long time, and I'm sorry for that, those of you who follow my blog. Well, I have a recipe for coconut ice, which is a little strange, because it's NOT actually ice, it's like candy that's cold, and solid. Anyway, here's what you need to make it: 3 cups icing or confection sugar 1/2 cup milk 25 grams butter or margarine -(I recommend butter, it's much better for you, and besides it tastes better, also 25 grams is 1.6666666666667 tablespoons,thought you might want to know that) 1/2 tsp salt 3/4 cups grated coconut Food coloring (optional) Combine sugar, salt, butter/margarine, and milk in a saucepan over medium heat till boiling, and taking on a candy-like quality. To test if there is a candy-like quality, when the mixture is bubbling, take a spoonful, and drop it into a bowl of cold water. If it holds its shape, and you can pick up the ball, it's ready. Take off of heat and add coconut, stir briefly to combine. Pour mixture into 2 bowls, allow to cool for 2.5 minutes. Stir both bowls and add food coloring if you want. Put mixture into trays and smooth down. Cool in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. When I used this recipe, I halved it, and the resulting lump of candy was a little bigger than my fist. It turned out pretty well though. I hope you enjoy your coconut ice! SQUOOSHLE for now, the ever present one man team behind Quarunkl
