   As in other Pacific countries Samoan people love their food. Food is also considered very significant in the Samoan way of life. There are a number of Samoan foods that Samoans and people all over the world enjoy. These famous Samoan foods include, pisupo (corned beef), oka (raw fish in coconut cream), sapasui (meat mixed in vermicelli, water, ginger and soy sauce), povi masima (salted beef) and luau (taro leaves, coconut cream and onion). A famous way of preparing food in Samoa is the umu. An umu is a special way Samoans cook their food. Firstly by starting a fire and then placing smooth stones over it to retain the heat. When the stones are hot different kinds of foods such as luau, breadfruit, and fa'i (bananas) are placed on the umu.

1 pkt Caramel candy, (Kraft or whatever)
Milk chocolate chips (or other chocolate), melted
Coconut, shredded

When you set the pretzels on the waxed paper this time, liberally sprinkle the coconut over each pretzel before the chocolate is cool. Place in refrigerator to speed final cooling.

1 teaspoon salt
Cooking Instructions:
Mix 2 1/2 cups of flour and yeast. In a saucepan heat and stir milk, sugar, shortening, margarine, or butter; and salt til warm and shortening almost melts. Add to flour mixture. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Using a spoon, stir in as much remaining flour as you can to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and easy to pull - 6-8 minutes. Put some Crisco shortening on your hands. This will add moisture to your rolls and make it easier to handle. Shape in a ball and put in a greased bowl. Turn it on both sides to grease the whole ball of dough. Cover and let rise in the oven on the top rack and below it in
a pan put some hot water. (The steam from the hot water will help it to rise) about 45 minutes. Punch dough down. Roll 18 balls and cover for 10 minutes while you make the following
milk mixture. Mix 2 cans of coconut milk with 1 cup of sugar. (Add more sugar if you like it sweeter.) In 2 13x9x2 pans, pour in half of the milk mixture in each pan, put in 9 bread rolls on top (or you can make the rolls smaller to make more rolls). Bake at 375 degrees in the oven
for 20 minutes or until bread tests done.
