      3 cups granulated sugar
      1 cup milk
      3 cups shredded coconut

      In a saucepan, boil sugar and milk over medium heat until it becomes a thin
      syrup (232 to 240 degrees on your candy thermometer). Add coconut, stirring
      constantly to prevent burning. Color should be a nice golden brown.

      Spread
      over a flat plate and let cool. May be eaten warm or chilled. Makes 24 pieces

      I love Mound candy bars. At least with this recipe we would know there are no preservatives.
