Coconut Candy Recipes

Sweet and chewy coconut bonbons are even more delectable when covered with bittersweet chocolate. The bonbons are also delicious without the chocolate coating.

In this recipe for lime-coconut truffles, a white chocolate truffle base is infused with fresh lime zest and juice, then rolled in sweet coconut for a refreshing tropical candy. Lime and coconut is a fabulous and uncommon flavor combination that shines in these truffles.

Crunchy cashews are coated with a sweet layer of toasted coconut. This distinctive tropical treat is nearly irresistible, and you can customize it by adding a pinch of cinnamon, or a small amount of lime zest to the coating mixture.

These soft, chewy chocolate-covered patties are bursting with sweet coconut flavor. They are similar in concept to peppermint patties, with the peppermint being replaced by coconut extract and shredded coconut.

Moist coconut filling is studded with macadamia nuts and dipped in dark chocolate to create these decadent, coconut-macadamia nut bonbons. The marshmallows and corn syrup in the recipe help to keep the bonbon filling moist and chewy, while the nuts and coconut add robust tropical flavor.

Who knew two simple ingredients could be so good together? Toasted chocolate and coconut are a match made in heaven in this quick and easy drop candy. You can experiment by substituting raisins or slivered almonds for a portion of the coconut.

Chewy coconut is topped with whole toasted almonds and covered in chocolate, just like your favorite candy bar. If you don’t like almonds, they can be omitted and the candy will still be delicious.

Coconut Macaroon Truffles are miniature macaroon cookies, baked until they are golden on the outside and moist and chewy inside. The coconut macaroons are then dipped in chocolate and topped with toasted coconut. Half cookie, half candies, these little treats are fully satisfying.

These sweet, fluffy coconut marshmallows are flavored with coconut extract and rolled in golden toasted coconut for a double dose of coconut flavor. I love the tropical twist coconut brings to traditional marshmallows, and the texture combination of soft marshmallows covered with crunchy coconut is delicious and unexpected. You can add a drizzle of chocolate to make these even more decadent.

Coconut Fudge is a rich, old-fashioned sugar fudge bursting with real coconut flavor. Because it is a sugar fudge, it is very sweet, so a small pan of this rich treat goes a long way.
