My grandmother made this very rich candy every year at Christmas for my father. I've never been able to make it exactly like hers because she didn't use a recipe . Her recipes called for a little of this and a pinch of that. I'm sorry I don't have prep times and serving amount is a guess as these vary. It depends on how large you roll this out. Ingredients:
3/4 cup mashed potatoes (no salt) |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
4 cups powdered sugar |
4 cups shredded coconut |
1 (12 ounce) package chocolate chips |
1/2 piece paraffin wax |
english walnuts, chopped into pieces |
Directions:
1. Combine mashed potatoes, vanilla, powdered sugar, and cocnut.
2. Mix well.
3. Roll into snake-like shape on waxed paper.
4. Let set.
5. Melt chocolate chips and paraffin in double boiler.
6. Cut candy into bite size pieces and dip in chocolate mixture.
7. Place a walnut piece on each candy.
8. Place on waxed paper to set.
9. (When mixing the candy, you need to keep adding powdered sugar until it forms a stiff dough in order to roll).
