Potato Candy

By: Rhonda 
"The potatoes in this recipe provide starch and don't add flavor. You won't even know there are potatoes in it. You will only taste a sweet confection. When adding the confectioners' sugar and peanut butter, be aware that the amounts are approximate. You may add more or less, depending on your tastes."

This Kitchen Approved Recipe has an average star rating of 3.9 Rate/Review | Read Reviews (59)
