coconut treats

Hi! Was in Zihua last November and though I've been to Zihua many, many times, it was my first time to Cafe Ixtapa near the farmer's market in Zihua. We had taken a cooking class and our teacher brought us on a tour of the market area and we stopped at Cafe Ixtapa. Fell in love with a type of coconut candy which came in a big plastic jar. They were circular coconut treats in red, green and white and were in many layers in the jar. Wondering if anyone knows whether they would ship these to Canada? Brought one back but should have brought more! Or does anyone know where they might sell these online?
Next trip to Zihua will be in November again but don't want to wait that long!
Gracias

No one is selling online, and at times they are hard to find in Z. They are made in a town south of Petatlán that is very hard to spell like Jalacaala or something.

They are fantastic and you will be hungry for them next November.

This might come close.

Coconut candy

There is a factory south of Z that you can travel to. Call Guzman Tours, Jose may be able to get some to you.

You will have no trouble finding them. Try the shops along the west side of Benito Juarez, in the block just north of the Mercado Municipal, the block with Jaiba Feliz and the coffee shop.

The OP is back home now and is wondering where he might get them in the states, or where he might get them online, not where he can get them in Z.

You are correct, Timmac. I guess I was responding more to Midalake, who said they can be hard to find. In 25 years, we have never had a hard time finding them, but I wasn’t at all clear about that!
