Coconut Bites

Submitted by Toni in Colorado

"Our family lived in Mexico in the early 60's. My brother remembers Jicama Bites and Cucumber Bites using the same seasonings as Coconut Bites. We use to buy these off the street vendors. I know the seasonings sound like a turnoff, but they're really good and a good conversation piece at get-togethers. Guessing on the number of servings."
