Pina Colada Candy Recipe

Real pineapple and shredded coconut are mixed with white chocolate to form delectable pina colada clusters. The recipe calls for dried pineapple, but you can substitute fresh pineapple chunks if you desire. To use fresh pineapple, drain the chunks in a colander and pat them dry with paper towels. Chop the chunks into small pieces with a knife and proceed as directed in the recipe.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 cups white chocolate chips
• 1 tsp rum extract
• 1 tsp coconut extract
• 2/3 cup shredded coconut
• 1/3 cup chopped macadamia nuts
• 1/3 cup chopped dried pineapple

Preparation:

1. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil.

2. Combine the pineapple, coconut, nuts and extracts in a small bowl and set aside.

3. Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the chocolate until it is melted, stirring every 45 seconds to prevent it from scorching.
