Categories Candies

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 c sugar
1/2 c butter (1 stick)
12 large marshmallows (not the gaint ones and not the mini ones)
2/3 c coconut milk, (i used unsweetened/first pressing) you can used evaporated milk
pinch salt
16 oz vanilla or white chocolate chips
1 tsp coconut extract
1 1/2 to 2 c toasted coconut (i toasted sweetened flakes and toasted them on the stove top)

Steps:

1. Butter and 9 X 12-in dish; set aside.
2. Combine sugar, butter, marshmallows, coconut milk and salt in a large sauce pan. Over a medium heat; stirring constantly bring to a boil.
3. Remove from heat and stir white chocolate chips and coconut extract into hot mixture; stir until melted. Add toasted coconut; stir until mixed well and pour into prepared dish. Cool completely before slicing (I put pan in the fridge for about 1 hour before cutting). Cut when firm. This is a softer fudge
4. NOTE: I used "A Taste of Thai" Unsweetened/First Pressing coconut milk.
5. TOASTING COCONUT FLAKES: In a large non-stick skillet over a medium heat, add desired about of coconut flakes. NOTE: If using sweetened flakes watch extremely close as sugar will burn rather quickly. Stir constantly until a light golden brown. Remove from heat and cool completely.
