Easy, Homemade "Mounds" Candies

Step 3 Mix it up!!

Dump the pecans into a big bowl. Really big! This will get messy if you don't have a big bowl!!

Now dump a one pound bag of sweetened coconut into your huge bowl .
Add a one pound box of powdered sugar into the bowl. It doesn't matter if it's 4x or 10x.

Factoid: Powdered sugar is just refined sugar and cornstarch.

Stir everything in the bowl together until combined.

Pour in a can of Eagle Brand milk. Yup, only one can. It will get tough to stir so after you get the puddles of Eagle Brand milk mixed in, take off your rings and get into it with your hands. It's gooey and messy but easier to mix up.

Would you please tell me what "Sweetened Coconut " is (consists of ? ) as I'm in Australia and never heard of it. Thanks. They look very yummy :)

This stuff its just shredded coconut sweetened with sugar before drying.

I don't think they even dry it. they sweeten the grated coconut and bag it in plastic and it's very moist.

For those of us not in the US, Eagle Brand milk is condensed milk, and powdered sugar is icing sugar.

Paraffin? You mean paraffin wax, right? Because it can also mean kerosene or some alkaline metals.

[jackofalltrades]

I'm pretty sure she means the alkane hydrocarbons. I mean, why would one assume she means the only edible meaning of that word in a recipe?

Good point. I must continue to dwell on this before finishing the recipe.
