This is an old recipe that a lot of people are searching for especially during special holidays. These are mini cake-like candies that are very yummy and fulfilling. These are coated with chocolate and rich in potatoes. Prepare these desserts for weddings, Thanksgiving and even during Christmas holidays.
Ingredients
- 1 small baking potato
- 1 -2 teaspoon milk or 1 -2 teaspoon cream (5-10 ml)
- 1 -2 lb confectioners' sugar (455-910 g)
- ½ teaspoon almond extract (5-10 ml)
- 2 cups miniature dark chocolate chips (350 g)
Instructions
- Wash, peel and boil potato until tender.
- Remove from heat and drain water, mash with fork and stir in milk.
- Use beaters on high speed to make mixture as fluffy and lump-free as possible.

- Drizzle chocolate chips and knead (add chocolate chips as many as the dough will hold, or enough to suit your taste.)
- Shape into small balls, walnut-sized or smaller.

Notes
You can use mint extract as an alternative to almond extracts, it gives the candies a minty flavor.
