2. Remove from the heat and stir in the coconut. Pour.half the mixture quickly into a buttered 20.5x1 5 cm (8x6 inch) tin. Add a few drops of food colouring to the second half, stir, and pour quickly over the first. Leave until half set, mark into bars and cut or break when cold. Store in an airtight tin.
