COCADAS (BOLIVIAN COCONUT CANDIES)
Cocadas are a typical coconut candy or cookie that is served in Mexico, Brazil and over much of Latin America. They are oven baked but are served at room temperature to obtain their chewy and soft texture. Made with egg and shredded coconut, cocadas come in a variety of colors due to the modern use of food coloring, but the traditional ones are golden brown. They are often garnished with almonds, either whole or chopped. There are hundreds of recipes for cocadas which range in texture from the typical hard, very sweet balls to those which are almost the texture of flan. Other fruit, often dried, can be added to the cocadas to create variety. Cocadas are mentioned as early as 1878 in Peru. This is a Bolivian version, from the website BoliviaWeb. In Colombia, cocadas are sold on the streets, and particularly on the beaches, by women who carry them on large aluminum trays

Tips:
- To achieve the perfect consistency for your coconut candies, use a candy thermometer. The ideal temperature is between 234°F (112°C) and 238°F (114°C).
- Make sure to stir the coconut mixture constantly while it's cooking to prevent it from burning. You can use a wooden spoon or a heatproof spatula for this.
- If you find that the mixture is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream. This will help to thin it out and make it easier to pour.
- Once the candies are poured into the molds, let them cool completely before removing them. This will help them to hold their shape.
- Store the coconut candies in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.
