Irish Potatoes Candy

Irish Potatoes Candy


1. NOTE: Be sure to use regular cream cheese, not whipped or reduced fat type.

2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese.

3. Add vanilla and confectioners' sugar.

4. Beat until mixture forms a ball.

5. Stir in coconut with a spoon.

6. Roll the mixture between your hands to form small potato-shaped candies or roll into small balls.

7. Place cinnamon in a shallow dish and roll the balls in it.

8. Place the balls on a cookie sheet and chill for about 1 hour or until firm.

9. If you prefer "dirtier potatoes" roll the candy a second time after they have chilled.

10. Alternatively dip in melted chocolate for Easter eggs.
