These Old Fashioned Potato Candies are a delightful treat, perfect for those who enjoy sweet, homemade desserts. The creamy peanut butter and rich cocoa blend beautifully with the soft texture of the mashed potato, creating a bite-sized indulgence that’s both satisfying and nostalgic.
- Ingredients:
- 1 medium potato, peeled and boiled
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts (optional)
Directions:
- Begin by boiling the potato until soft. Once cooked, mash the potato thoroughly, making sure there are no lumps.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potato with the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, peanut butter, cocoa powder, softened butter, and salt. Stir until the mixture forms a thick dough-like consistency.
- If desired, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
- Shape the mixture into small balls or patties with your hands, pressing gently to flatten them if making patties.
- Place the candies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow them to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Once chilled, enjoy your delicious homemade potato candy, which will have a soft, fudge-like texture.
