JAMAICAN COCONUT DROPS
This is an all time favorite of Jamaican's. Just about every Jamaican restaurant or store sell these. I decided to add them as Horderve's at a party and I was shocked to find only crumbs left. If you like coconut, you will love Coconut Drops.

Steps:
- 1. Place 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of water to pot (a medium rice pot is what I use), bring to a boil. Combine all ingredients and add to boiling water. Boil for approximately 25 to 30 minutes or until very sticky (almost like syrup).
- 2. Line your cookie sheet with parchment paper or just use cooking spray. Take a serving spoon or ice cream scooper to yield one drop on a baking cookie sheet. Place 1 inch apart. Wait until it's cool and hard to eat. Enjoy!
