Ingredients (A)
115ml evaporated milk(4oz tin)
2 tbsp condensed milk
325g granulated sugar
375g grated coconut

Ingredients (B)
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp butter

Method

Combine ingredients (A) in a saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, over a very low heat until sugar has dissolved completely.
Stir in grated coconut and cook until almost dry, about 30 minutes.

Remove saucepan from heat, add essence and butter, and mix well to blend.
Divide into three portions and add a few drops of different colouring to each portion. Grease three trays lightly with corn oil and fill with coloured portions.

Press candy down firmly with a clean piece of plastic wrap, then set aside to cool slightly.

Turn candy out and cut before it dries completely and hardens.
