Recipe Notes

In this recipe, we used raw sugar but using regular granulated sugar will make the color slightly whiter.
You can also use larger coconut flakes instead of the finely shredded coconut.
The baking time and temperature will change depending on the type of oven so try several times and adjust accordingly.
