Coconut ice + Pebble bugs

I tried to make coconut ice few weeks back but added too much milk and it didn't set properly- so me being stubborn I tried again this week and it came out ok! :)

Here is how to make 1 batch:

1) Heat 1kg sugar and 300ml milk
2) Add 200g coconut
3) Drain off  excess milk
4) Put 3/4 into a tin and flatten out
5) Put pink food colouring into rest of mixture and then put on top of the other mixture and flatten out
6) Leave at room temperature to set

The recipe I used didn't say to drain but found the mixture would have still been too watery to set properly.

Also this week I finished jess pebble bugs :) they love their new home and jess keeps saying hello to them everytime she passes them.

Hope you all have a good week! Off to see other blogs for Handmade Monday.
