directions

  • Melt chocolates by heating them in the top of a double boiler, stirring it occasionally, until melted and smooth. Or you can melt chocolate in a microwave.
  • In a mixing bowl, mix potatoes together with salt, vanilla and coconut flakes. Drizzle confectioners’ sugar over potatoes, stir and add sugar gradually about 1 cup at a time. Mixture will get like liquid when first sugar is added then will begin to thicken.
  • When mixture becomes the consistency of stiff dough, knead it even if not all the sugar has been added.
  • After kneading, cover it with a damp cloth and chill until you can roll the candy into a ball, use a spoon to pick it up and roll them into small ½ inch balls. Then if you like roll balls in melted chocolate then then you can roll in peanuts or coconut.
