TOFI/BABA DUDU

Name: TOFI/BABA DUDU
Cuisine: Nigerian
Ingredients: 1 coconut; 1 cup milk; 2 cups grounded sugar

I ate an inordinate amount of these sweets in my preteens and early teens. Every extra cash I had, I spent on Baba Dudu. Every neighbourhood corner shop that sold basic provisions and snacks always had a chain of baba Dudu candy hanging on a makeshift rack. The sellers will expertly pull and snap off what you want from the longer chain of sweets without ruining it. Honestly, I struggled to get the chain right, it is a skill I’m sure comes from years of experience.
