Coconut is one of those amazing superfoods that seems like it can be used in the kitchen for anything. Coconut milk and water are great to drink and cook with. Coconut oil is a handy baking ingredient that adds just a touch of coconut flavor. Flake coconut is dreamy in baked goods, where its signature chew and winning taste are hard to beat. These coconut recipes will bring the joys of sweet coconut treats to your home this holiday season.

Thanksgiving Leftovers Recipes 

Judy Ruppel, Oak Ridge, Missouri, is looking for a recipe for a coconut candy her mother used to make for Christmas. The candy was creamy white with coconut, and it was almost like vanilla fudge, she says.

COCONUT RECIPES:  
White Coconut Fudge
Coconut Haystacks 

Shona Frese, Norway, Iowa, sends a White Coconut Fudge recipe that might fit Judy’s request.

While it’s not white, I couldn’t resist the Coconut Haystacks recipe. Roxie Olmstead, Sheridan, Wyoming, copied it from the family cookbook she published in 2000, and she says she’s had the recipe since her eighth-grade foods class in 1938.
