Years ago, folks in Maine ate potatoes daily and used leftovers in bread, doughnuts and candy, says Barbara Allen, Chelmsford, Massachusetts. Ingredients:
4 cups confectioners' sugar |
4 cups flaked coconut |
3/4 cup cold mashed potatoes (without added milk and butter) |
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 pound dark chocolate candy coating, coarsely chopped |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Line a 9-in. square pan with foil; butter the foil. Spread coconut mixture into pan. Cover and chill overnight. Cut into 2-in. x 1-in. rectangles. Cover and freeze.
2. In a microwave, melt candy coating; stir until smooth. Dip bars in coating; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper to set. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 2 pounds.
