- two cupfuls of fondant
- one cupful of grated cocoanut
- a cupful of chocolate fondant
- a cup of pink
- one-half cupful of cocoanut

- Cocoanut cubes are made by taking two cupfuls of fondant and melting it in a double boiler, stir in one cupful of grated cocoanut and mix in well.
- Pour this into a square box lined with paraffine paper;
- it should be about an inch thick.
- When cold cut into squares.
- This cocoanut mixture may be variously tinted and given unusual and elusive flavors, and thus one may have a variety.
- Another way to make cocoanut cubes is to melt some fondant and pour half of it in a square or oblong box lined with paraffine paper.
- Then cover this over with cocoanut a half inch, then pour over the remainder of the fondant.
- This is especially good if the fondant is colored rose or pink.
- When cold cut into cubes.
- A combination of chocolate fondant and cocoanut is excellent.
- Melt a cupful of chocolate fondant and pour into a square or oblong box lined with paraffine paper.
- Melt a cup of pink or white fondant in a double boiler and stir in one-half cupful of cocoanut.
- Pour over the chocolate fondant.
- Snowballs can be made by taking one cupful of fondant and melting it, then stir in one-half cupful of grated cocoanut.
- Form into balls, roll in beaten egg white and then roll in grated cocoanut until thickly covered.
- Place on paraffine paper until they harden.
- Cocoanut drops are made by mixing with two cupfuls of melted fondant one-half cupful of grated cocoanut and one-fourth cupful of finely chopped candied cherries.
