QUMBE (EAST AFRICAN COCONUT CANDY)
Recently I was planning an African-themed party, and I came across a recipe for a Somali snack by this name. The first version I tried was a little too sweet for me, and the consistency was all wrong for rolling into balls. I made some adjustments in the proportions, and this is the result. Yum!

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine the coconut, butter and milk (you may need to add in a little more half and half cream or milk if necessary so the mixture holds together, depending on the moisture content).
- Form into 1-inch balls and place onto wax paper.
- Melt the milk chocolate chips and the semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave on MEDIUM power, stirring every minute, until melted; cool slightly.
- Dip coconut balls in chocolate.
- Place on waxed paper.
- Refrigerate to harden chocolate.
- Store tightly covered in the refrigerator.
Tips:
- To easily work with shredded coconut, place it in the freezer for 30 minutes before using.
- Use unsweetened shredded coconut for a healthier candy option.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can check the doneness of the sugar syrup by dropping a small amount into a cup of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, the syrup is ready.
- If you want a chewier candy, cook the sugar syrup to the hard ball stage (250°F).
- Store coconut candy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
