But I do enjoy breaking open a fresh coconut and drinking the liquid 
then munching the "meat".
My mother used to make a dish she called ambrosia using fresh grated
coconut and orange sections (cut to remove all membrane and seeds).  It
was very good.  However, if you try to look up ambrosia recipes, you
will find other very different things -- nothing as simple as what she
made.
Either way my Almond Joy and/or Mounds bars would be safe in your vicinity.  Bv)=
 
Yes, those are safe. OTOH, a Milky Way or 3 Musketeers bar is in
danger. (G)
I think my favourite candy bar is PayDay. 
We get bags of mixed small or minature sized chocolate candy (think
Halloween) which we use as a sweet treat after dinner.  We discovered a
type of bar in some of the mixes that we really like.  It is called a
$100,000 bar.
 
Almonds aren't my favorite nut so if I wanted to make it, I might sub
in cashews instead. Overall, I prefer to eat nuts by themselves, not
mixed in with my candy.
I like nearly all nuts - cashews lead the list, followed by
pecans/walnuts almonds, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts and peanuts near the bottom. 
I am with you pretty much.  Except that near the top for me is the
"rooster nuts" that Gail makes (and I think that you have sampled).  We
call them rooster because she uses sirachi with a rooster picture on the
label.

  In 1870, a fierce blizzard caused my great-grandfather's cattle to
  drift away from his Wind Mill Ranch near Cheyenne, Wyoming. The
  cattle were found in a sheltered canyon nearly twenty miles south,
  in the Chalk bluffs of northeastern Colorado. Benjamin Franklin
  Ketcham took this as a sign and staked his claim in what is now known
  as Ketcham Canyon.
  
  Men did the cooking on trail drives and roundups. My father's uncles
  Will and Herb Ketcham -- old-style open range cowboys -- were used to
  "doing for themselves". Uncle Herb could whip up a batch of biscuits
  in a flash and cook almost anything in his old Dutch oven. Bacon or
  coffee left from breakfast became part of a hearty stew served to
  ravenous cowboys at the noon time dinner. Serve this stew with hot
  biscuits.
  
  DIRECTIONS: In a Dutch oven over medium-low heat, cook the bacon
  slowly to render the fat. Remove the cooked bacon with a slotted
  spoon and set aside.
  
  Combine the flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, the pepper, and thyme. Pat the
  beef cubes dry and toss with the flour mixture.
  
  Over medium-high heat, brown the beef in the bacon drippings, working
  in batches if necessary. Remove the browned meat and set it aside.
  
  Add the chopped onion to the pan and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the
  coffee, chili sauce, molasses, Worcestershire, and reserved beef and
  bacon. Cover and simmer over low heat for 1 hour, stirring
  occasionally.
  
  Add the boiling onions and 3 cups of water. Simmer, covered, for 30
  minutes. Stir in the potatoes, carrots, and more water, if necessary.
  Continue to simmer the stew, partially covered, for about 30 minutes,
  or until the potatoes and carrots are tender. Add salt to taste and
  serve garnished with fresh parsley, if desired.
  
  Makes 6 servings
