This unusual potato fudge has a great coconut-chocolate flavor.

  • ½ cup hot cooked mashed potatoes
  • 2 tsp butter, softened
  • 4.5 cups sifted powdered sugar
  • 2-2/3 cups flaked coconut
  • dash of salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 4 ounces dark chocolate
Preparation:

1. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with foil and spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Mix mashed potatoes and butter in a large mixing bowl. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar in batches, beating until well combined.

3. Stir in the coconut, vanilla and salt. Press firmly and evenly into the baking pan.
