COCONUT BARK

Steps:

• Spray an 8x8 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Mix coconut and evaporated milk together in a bowl.
• Pour into baking dish and then smooth out (make sure it is level so that it cooks evenly).
• Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until browned.
• Cool completely and then cut into bars.
• This is how the recipe/show said to do it, mostly. Some people have found that a package of coconut does not yield 5 1/2 cups, but the recipe works with less coconut. I found that I cooked mine for 25 minutes, cooled it, then ended up putting it back in the oven for another 10 minutes. Next time I am going to put it in a 9x13 pan, since I like the toasted coconut best. Other people found that they could drop tablespoonfuls on cookie sheets and bake them for 15 minutes or so.

COCONUT CACAO BARK

Steps:

• Melt the coconut oil in a medium saucepan.
• Carefully add the raw cacao, vanilla, sweetener and nuts. The oil might spit a bit when you add other ingredients to it. Note: If you want, grind the Xylitol in a coffee grinder until a fine powder.
• Mix well to dissolve the sweetener and taste to make sure it is sweet enough.
• Pour onto a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. My baking sheet was 8x 11 1/2" which made my bark about 1/4" thick. But you can use a smaller one if you like your bark thicker.
• Put the pan into the freezer for about 30 minutes making sure the pan is straight so the bark will be even when it sets.
• Check the bark before you take it out of the freezer to ensure its solid all the way through.
• When set remove from the pan and break into pieces. Store in the fridge.
• Bon Appetit!

COCADA (BRAZILIAN COCONUT SWEET)

Steps:

• Combine condensed milk, sugar, coconut, and vanilla extract in a large saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes a little darker. If you find that the cocada is cooking too quickly, reduce heat to low and continue stirring.
• Once the mixture has thickened enough and feels heavy on the spoon, remove from heat and place spoonfuls on a piece of parchment paper.
• Let cool for about 30 minutes (cocada will harden a bit) and transfer to a sealed container.
