Description

Irish Potato Candy is a delightful sweet treat that resembles small potatoes, made with creamy peanut butter, shredded coconut, and cocoa powder.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended and smooth.
  2. Stir in the shredded coconut and ground cinnamon until evenly distributed.
  3. Using your hands, shape the mixture into small potato-shaped balls, about 1 inch in size.
  4. Roll each ball in cocoa powder to coat completely, giving them a realistic potato appearance.
  5. Place the coated candies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • For a different flavor, try adding a teaspoon of almond extract instead of vanilla.
  • You can substitute the shredded coconut with finely chopped nuts for added crunch.
