Mashed Potato Candy - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 cup hot mashed potatoes
1/4 lb butter (1/2 cup)
7 ounces flaked coconut
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
2 lbs icing sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
12 ounces chocolate chips
1 paraffin wax block

Preparation

Place sugar, salt, coconut in bowl with softened butter.
Add potatoes and vanilla and mix well by hand.
Pack mixture into 9 x 13 pan.
Cool in fridge.
Cut into 1 1/2 inch squares.
Melt chocolate, chocolate chips and paraffin wax -- stirring til no lumps appear. (ALWAYS exercise caution when heating paraffin -- I use a large well washed tin can and put it in the double boiler).
Using a toothpick, dip the squares in melted chocolate and place on waxed paper to set.
