Ingredients
- 1 potato peeled and boiled, medium
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups peanut butter creamy
- ½ cup coconut for rolling, unsweetened, shredded
Instructions
- Boil the potato until tender, about 15 minutes. Once cooked, drain and mash the potato until smooth. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potato, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and thick, creating a dough-like consistency.
- Roll the mixture into small balls or flatten it out and cut it into squares, depending on your preference.
- Spread the peanut butter in the center of each piece (like a filling), then fold the edges around the peanut butter to seal it in.
- Roll each piece in the shredded coconut until fully coated.
- Place the candy pieces on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
- Once chilled, serve the candy or store it in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- You can use crunchy peanut butter if you prefer a bit of texture in the candy.
- These candies can also be made with chocolate coating instead of coconut if preferred.
- For a variation, add a bit of cinnamon or cocoa powder to the mixture for extra flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
- If you want to make this candy ahead of time, you can freeze the pieces for up to a month. Just thaw in the fridge before serving.
- For a fun twist, roll the candies in crushed nuts instead of coconut.
