contest winner icon
Sounded easy so I'm going to try making this for Christmas gift giving along with my favorite Divinity Fudge. The Pineapple Fudge was a hit last year.

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 3/4 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine (1 stick)
  • 1 -1/2 cups sugar
  • 3 Tbsp. water
  • 1 Tbsp. light corn syrup
  • 1/2 tsp. salt

Directions:

Combine almonds and coconut. Spread in thin layer over bottom of buttered 13 X 9 inch pan.

In sauce pan, melt butter, then blend in remaining ingredients. Cook, without stirring, until mixture reaches soft crack stage (290 degrees F)

Remove from heat and pour in a thin stream evenly over almonds and coconut.

Cool, then break into pieces. Store in an air-tight container.

Servings: Makes about 1 pound of candy.
Prep Time: NA Minutes
