Irish Potato Candy - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 oz. cream cheese (room temperature)
1/4 lb. margarine (room temperature)
2 lb. 10x sugar
3 Tbsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
6 oz. coconut
dash of salt
cinnamon

Preparation

Mix together in a large bowl all ingredients except the cinnamon.
You may need to use your hands because this is a stiff mixture.
Break off pieces the size of large marbles and shape like potatoes.
Sprinkle a small pile of cinnamon on wax paper, and roll each potato in the cinnamon to coat it.
Do not stack the candy or put it in a covered container until the outer surface is no longer soft and sticky.
This takes a few hours.
