Coconut Fudge aka Egg in the Grass Fudge

Coconut Fudge aka Egg in the Grass Fudge -- A Pinch of Joy

Coconut fudge is a cream cheese based candy that is colorful, fun and so easy to make! Use a 3 ounce package of cream cheese or cut three ounces from a larger 8 ounce piece. Food coloring has so many options that it’s hard to give a measurement. If you’ve used a particular kind – paste, deep color, neon or regular – you probably have an idea of the intensity each produces. If not – go slow. You can always add more, but subtracting doesn’t work!   I prefer the paste colors that are used in cake decorating for the fudge, but –hey, grass is green in any medium. And for making coconut grass, a liquid coloring seems to work best. This fudge will get soft if it is out of the refrigerator and uneaten for more than a hour or so. Usually it disappears so quickly, that’s not a problem.
