Potato Candy Recipe

Potato Candy

From jaie 16 years ago

This is my grandmother's recipe and an old-fashioned fav. I don't know if anyone but me ever even heard of potato candy!!!

Beat mashed potato, butter, coconut, vanilla, powdered sugar, and if desired some peanut butter until CREAMY.
Put into buttered pan and chill until hard
Pour 1/4 pound melted chocolate over the top.
Chill until chocolate is cool and set
Cut into square pieces and enjoy!

Your recipe calls for melted unsweetened chocolate. Was wondering if you meant to use semi-sweet chocolate instead, or to add a bit of sweetening to the unsweetened melted chocolate?

My Aunt Minnie used to make this every year but I never obtained her recipe. This has to be it or close to it, sounds just like I remember. Thanks for bringing back a fond memory.
