    Mashed Potato Candy
    Makes 2 dozen

    3/4 cup hot mashed potatoes
    1/4 lb butter (1/2 cup)
    7 ounces flaked coconut
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
    2 lbs powdered sugar
    2 teaspoons vanilla
    12 ounces chocolate chips
    1 paraffin wax block

    Place sugar, salt, coconut in bowl with softened butter.
    Add potatoes and vanilla and mix well by hand.
    Pack mixture into 9 x 13 pan.
    Cool in fridge.
    Cut into 1 1/2 inch squares.
    Melt chocolate, chocolate chips and paraffin wax — stirring til no lumps appear. (ALWAYS exercise caution when heating paraffin — I use a large well washed tin can and put it in the double boiler).
    Using a toothpick, dip the squares in melted chocolate and place on waxed paper to set.
