Ingredients: |
Ingredients: 1 - loaf of slightly stale white bread, unsliced but cut into 1x1x2 inch pieces (long enough to be threaded onto a marshmallow roasting skewer)
1 can of sweetened, condensed milk
Shredded coconut (best to use a fresh coconut if you can - be sure to watch a video on how to open it)
|
Directions: |
Directions:1. Cut the crust off the bread, and then cut the bread in chunks.
2. Open the coconut, drain the water, harvest the meat of the coconut and grate it into a bowl
3. Empty the sweetened condensed milk into a different bowl
4. Soak the bread chunks in the milk, turning them so all 6 surfaces are coated
5. Toss the (very gooey) chunks in the shredded coconut
6. Push the coated bread chunks onto skewers, and toast over an open fire, like you would a marshmallow, until they are slightly golden brown.
7. Eat and lick your sticky fingers! |

Notes: About Marilyn:
I became a Brownie in 1957, also in Miami, FL, and I grew up with the same troop of girls until we went off to college. We are still close friends. One of the highlights of my GSing days was having a Finnish Girl Guide as a penpal. We "met" in the BIC pen exhibit in the New York World's Fair in the 1960s, and I went to Finland to visit her just before I married in 1972. At that time she was preparing to become a dentist like her mother, and I was pre-med; she was the leader of Brownie-aged troop and I was a Junior troop leader.
Another experience I vividly remember was preparing for my Emergency Preparedness Challenge as a Cadette. At that time the highest award in Girl Scouting was the First Class Award, for which you had to "be prepared" to meet 4 challenges. My friends and I bandaged and splinted my little brother until he ran from us every time he saw us coming towards him! Then we told our leader that we were ready for our challenge.
A weekend or so later we were surfing off Miami Beach with our band, when everyone started screaming that one of the drummers was hurt. We thought that was our challenge, so we swam out with our boards, slid one under our friend (no easy task), and swam her back to the shore with the surfboard as a stretcher. It turned out that she had been hit by a large rogue wave while she was floating her surfboard out. The surfboard hit her in the face, snapped her head backwards and bruised a couple of cervical nerves, and she was REALLY hurt. What we thought was just a GS challenge was really a rescue, and our leader didn't ask us to do another one! (Our friend healed, and was fine.)
