Florida Featured Product of the Week

This week’s Featured product has been around for 30 years, creating confections, candies, and assorted treats with a Florida flavor. Do you know those roadside stops that sell typical confections and treats? It’s most likely from Anastasia Confections. 

Anastasia Confections is mostly known for these coconut patties.

The coconut patties are available in several different flavors, like key lime, rum, and pina colada. The patties are made with smooth, shredded coconut filling, which is then dipped in a rich, dark chocolate coating. Enjoy them right out of the package, or for a warm-weather treat, put them in the freezer for ten minutes or so for a nice coconut chill!
