Those who love coconut will love these delicious Haystacks candies.

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.
