Ingredients
2 cups of sugar
2 cups desiccated coconut (fresh or desiccated)
1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Reduce the heat to medium and cook the mixture for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. - When the mixture is thick and starts to come away from the pan, add the vanilla essence and mix well.
- Pour the mixture into a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes.
- After the mixture has cooled, use a sharp knife to cut it into small pieces.
Wrap each piece in parchment paper and let cool completely before serving.
