I found this gem on a slip of paper in a cookbook I got at a yard sale. The candies get great flavor from browned butter. I've received many requests for this recipe over the years.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I really liked these coconut peaks. They're not too sweet and they have a nice chewy texture.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my coconut peaks didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
