Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed potatoes (cooled and unsalted) Ensure potatoes are cooled completely before using.
- 4 cups powdered sugar Sifted for a fluffier texture.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds aromatic flavor.
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy) Can substitute with another nut butter.
Instructions
Preparation
- Clear your countertop and gather all ingredients and necessary utensils.
- In a large mixing bowl, place the cooled, unsalted mashed potatoes.
- Gradually add powdered sugar, about one cup at a time, mixing until a dough-like consistency is reached.
- Add vanilla extract and stir until evenly mixed.
- Fold in the peanut butter, mixing until smooth and blended.
- On a clean surface or wax paper, roll out the mixture into a ΒΌ inch thick rectangle.
- Cut the rectangle into smaller squares or rectangles; using powdered sugar to combat stickiness if needed.
- Roll each piece into little logs and place them on a tray to set, possibly refrigerating for 30 minutes.

Notes
Make sure mashed potatoes are completely cooled to prevent melting the sugar. Refrigeration helps firm up the candy.
