IRISH POTATO CANDY

List of Ingredients




IRISH POTATO CANDY
Yields: About 5 dozen candies

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, softened
4 ounces cream cheese, softened (see Note)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 package (16 ounces) confectioners' sugar
1 package (7 ounces) sweetened flaked coconut (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon


Recipe




1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese. 2. Add the vanilla and confectioners' sugar and beat until the mixture forms a ball. 3. With a spoon, stir in the coconut. 4. Roll the mixture between your hands to form small potato-shaped candies, or roll into small balls. 5. Place the cinnamon in a shallow dish. 6. Roll the balls in the cinnamon, then place on a cookie sheet, cover, and chill for about 1 hour, until firm. Note: Make sure to use regular cream cheese, not a whipped or reduced-fat type. And if you prefer "dirtier potatoes," roll the candies a second time in additional cinnamon after they've chilled
