Potato Candy
"Cheap, easy, and quick little candy that my mom taught me how to make when I was little. I used to love to use my hands to squish it all up. My daughter now helps me make it. The recipe is nice because there is really no measuring involved."
- Ready In:
- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 3
- Serves:
-
12
ingredients
- 1 medium sized potato
- 1 (20 ounce) bag powdered sugar
- 2 cups peanut butter
directions
- First, poke several holes in the potato and place in the microwave for about ten minutes or until soft (like a baked potato).
- Let cool a little so you can touch it, then remove the skin.
- Mash the potato until smooth and no chunks are left.
- Slowly pour in powdered sugar and mix with potato.
- There is really no measuring, but it usually takes the entire bag if it is not a small potato; the goal is to get it to the consistency of pizza dough.
- After mixing the bag of powdered sugar with the potato, roll the "dough" out on wax paper with a rolling pin until it is about 1/4" thick.
- Smear peanut butter over the top of the "dough" evenly.
- Roll the entire dough up (like a newspaper) to create layers of dough and peanut butter.
- Cut into desired sections and enjoy!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a stay at home mommy/wife so I am always cooking something for someone. I learned most of my cooking from my mom or a grandparent. Occasionally I will get brave and try something new on my own. I love learning new recipes for different ethnic foods. I make a mean salsa now :)
