Irish Potato Candy

July 2, 2026

Instructions

 

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy.
Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until a thick dough forms.
Fold in the shredded coconut and ground cinnamon until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for 20–30 minutes, or until firm enough to handle.
Scoop out small portions of the dough and roll them into oval or irregular potato-shaped pieces, about 1 inch in size.
Place the cocoa powder in a shallow bowl and roll each candy until completely coated, gently shaking off any excess.
Arrange the candies on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow them to firm up.
Store the candies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
