Directions:
1
Line a 7 x 7 inch pan with parchment or waxed paper

In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat sugar and water gently, without boiling, until sugar has dissolved

Then, bring to a boil and cook until it reaches 240 degrees F/120 degrees C on a candy thermometer, or a little syrup dropped in a glass of cold water forms a soft ball

Remove from heat and immediately stir in vanilla and coconut

Continue stirring until mixture begins to thicken, 5 to 10 minutes
6
Pour half of the mixture into the prepared pan and level the surface with a knife or spatula
7
Tint the other half of the mixture by stirring in the food coloring
8
Pour the pink mixture on top of other layer, and level the surface

Press all down firmly with the back of a spoon and allow to harden
