Serves/Makes: 6
Ready in: 30-60 minutes
- 1 medium potato
- 1 pound powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 pound sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 (6-8 ounce size) giant Hershey chocolate candy bar, chopped
Peel the potato and place in a pan of boiling water. Cook until soft. Drain the water and let the potato cool a little. Mash the potato in a bowl with the powdered sugar and vanilla. Mix well, then stir in the coconut. Spread the potato mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Melt the chocolate in the top of a doubler boiler over simmering, not boiling water. Carefully remove the top of the double boiler and let the chocolate cool for 1 minute. Spread the chocolate over the sweet mashed potatoes. Let the candy cool to room temperature. Use a knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry to cut the mashed potato candy into squares. Store the candy in an airtight container.
