This Irish Potato Candy is perfect for celebrating St. Patrick's Day with! Made from coconut, cream cheese, sugar, and cinnamon and look like potatoes!

Ingredients  


Instructions

  • Cream the butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and beat until combined.
  • Add powdered sugar one cup at a time until combined and smooth. You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl in between additions.
  • Add coconut and mix until combined. Chill the mixture for 20-30 minutes.
  • Roll into balls "potatoes" about the size of a large marble and finish them off by rolling in cinnamon and brown sugar that's been mixed together.

Notes

  • This recipe originally called for rolling the candy in straight cinnamon but has been updated to reflect a cinnamon sugar coating to make the cinnamon less intense.
