FAIL: Irish Potato Candy
I decided to make the "Irish Potato Candy" that I remember having as a kid on St. Patrick's day, that have tons of coconut in them and actually no potato at all. I could not believe my eyes when the recipe called for 4 cups of sugar. CONFECTIONER Sugar. I accidentally made it with granulated sugar and man did they taste bad. Really bad. And yet some co-workers liked them. FAIL!!!
HERE IS THE RECIPE:
A cute little confection that looks just like little potatoes. This kind does not contain potatoes; they are made using cream cheese and coconut.
Ingredients
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups confectioners' sugar
2 1/2 cups flaked coconut
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Directions
In a medium bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Add the vanilla and confectioners' sugar; beat until smooth. Using your hands if necessary, mix in the coconut. Roll into balls or potato shapes, and roll in the cinnamon. Place onto a cookie sheet and chill to set. If desired, roll potatoes in cinnamon again for darker color.
