How To Make Coconut Candy

Going with my childhood memories when naira had so much value, coconut candy which was sold for just 5 naira only was a source of joy to me and my peers.

Coconut candy was almost every child go-to snack.

Several years later, I visited a popular market in Lagos and saw one of the market women displaying coconut candy for sale.

I was shocked, didn’t know it still existed.

I bought some and enjoyed eating it as I used to several years back.

After it finished, I made some research on how to make coconut candy at home, I found the recipe and instructions on how to go about it and I made it.

Today, I will be sharing with you steps on how to make coconut candy at home and the ingredients or recipe to be used.
