Easy Potato Candy Bonbons - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 small baking potato
1 -2 teaspoon milk or 1 -2 teaspoon cream
1 -2 lb confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups miniature dark chocolate chips
Preparation
-
Peel and boil potato.
Drain water, mash with fork, and add milk.
Use beaters on high speed to make as fluffy and LUMP-free as possible.
Add almond flavoring, still beating.
Either use beaters or a spoon and add confectioner's sugar, a little at a time. Sugar and potato have a chemical reaction that makes the potatoes look like they are melting.
Keep adding sugar until the melting effect is almost completely gone and the mixture is forming a stiff dough.
Knead in chocolate chips (as many as the dough will hold, or enough to suit to taste.)
Immediately form into little balls, walnut-sized or smaller. I like to put them into mini cupcake papers (red) or whatever works best with the season, and to leave them in mini cupcake pans to dry and finish hardening.
