    Beijinho de CocoPin

    These coconut candies are popular in Brazil and I highly recommend them. They are absolutely delicious. If you like coconut as much as I do, you may eat a dozen or so of these Beijinhos de Coco.

    They are easy and simple to make and have amazing flavor!

    Enjoy!

      I tried making these but the sauce was not firm to make them into a ball. I had to scoop them with my spoon into the baking cups and it only made 10 not 12. Did I do something wrong?

        Angie- You have to let the mixture sit for a while , before you can make the little balls.

      I tried this recipe and also had trouble with the consistency. The flavor was wonderful but the candy never set up enough to form balls. So I poured spoonfuls into the containers and we ate them like shooters.
