Peaches, I managed to c & p this. I asked Tess abt the recipe before giving it to you and this is the recipe and what she said.
Tess quoting me:
You said, "Just got a candy recipe. It's just 1 c mashed potatos, 1 stick marg., & a 2# bag of confectioners sugar. You mix and roll it out and spread w/peanut butter, jam, etc., then roll it up jellyroll style and slice. It's quite SWEET and sure takes care of that sweet tooth. Would like to post it....I see that Peaches is looking for candy. Oh you can freeze it too. I thought that you might be able to use a bit more mashed potato. Am not sure that I should post a recipe w/that much margarine tho and am wondering if you could sub some canola oil for marg."
That does sound like a LOT of margarine...and substituting canola oil wouldn't do any good, it's still fat, and it might taste funny. Plus, peanut butter is high in fat, too. You might experiment with using half as much margarine, but I'm not sure that's a recipe that can be adapted--sorry.
End of quote.
Don't know how margarine affects you. Could use lo fat tho and I KNOW that ALOT of people use lo fat peanut butter all the time on rice cakes, etc. You can spread it with anything you like, jam, crunchy or plain p butter, etc. The lady said she has some trouble using chocolate and butterscotch.
It's VERY sweet and it seems to me that 1 stick (possibly less.....as long as it sticks together) to a 2# bag of sugar wouldn't be bad (for me at least). Think you could increase the potato to 1 1/2 c.
Hope it works for you. NIce.....cause you can freeze it. Since choc syrup is OK, you could dip it in some when you go to eat it........... or honey, etc.!
Marnie
PS I'm anxious to make a batch!!!!!!
