    Nigerian Toasted Coconut Candy

    This Nigerian coconut candy is a popular street snack enjoyed by Nigerians and is eaten by itself, or can be served as a topping for ice-cream, yogurt, and even with garri.

    Nigerians love their street foods! Sweet, savory, spicy, salty and even bitter, all can be found on the right street corner or roadside. This Nigerian coconut candy is one of popular street snacks enjoyed by people all over the country. It was common to have many of our visiting relatives bring this along as a treat whenever they stopped by our house, since it was likely to be one of the many snacks sold along the roads linking major Eastern cities in Nigeria with cities in the west like Ibadan and Lagos (where I grew up if you’re not already aware). On some of the family trips from Lagos to Benin along the Ore-Benin highways, I remember seeing bottles of coconut candy being sold usually beside the toll gates where hawkers would race and compete with each other in the sweltering sun to earn travellers’ attention and the possible promise of a sale. Families travelling with children like ours would be only too happy to silence the raucous cries of “I want! I want!!!” by excited kids once their curious little eyes spotted these candy snacks stacked beside other bottled staples like fried groundnut; a scenario the eagle-eyed hawkers were only too eager to take advantage of.
