Notes
For a vegetarian version, replace turkey bacon with fruit leather or omit it altogether and roll the coconut mixture in cocoa powder or dark chocolate.
You can freeze the assembled (unbaked) candies for up to 2 weeks. Just thaw slightly before baking.
Add food coloring to the coconut mix for added flair—green for monsters, red for vampires, or purple for witches.
Candy eyes are widely available around Halloween in baking supply stores or online—stock up early.
Use sweetened condensed milk for extra creamy texture, and make sure to mix it well with the coconut for best results.
