Ingredients
2/3 cup hot mashed potatoes
2 teaspoons butter, melted
1 pound confectioner's sugar, sifted
2 1/2 tablespoons cocoa or 1 1/2 squares chocolate
1 teaspoon vanilla
few grains salt
1/2 pound moist coconut
Put hot potatoes through ricer to remove all lumps, then beat in melted butter. Put potatoes in a
mixing bowl, add sugar and beat until thoroughly blended. Add cocoa, or melted chocolate which has
been cooled, and beat thoroughly. Mix in vanilla, salt and coconut.
Drop by teaspoons onto waxed paper. Keep the mounds of candy rather regular in shape and size.
Place in refrigerator or other cool place for a short time to harden. Hardened candy should be kept
in a tightly covered container.
