Chocolate Potato Candy Tips
Can you use leftover mashed potatoes to make chocolate potato candy?
While it would be nice to repurpose leftover mashed potatoes to make chocolate potato candy, you really shouldn’t. Cook and mash plain Russet potatoes for this recipe, so you don’t have the garlic, salt, milk and butter that you’d typically find in leftover mashed potatoes. Instead, consider one of these
ways to use leftover mashed potatoes, whether it’s for shepherd’s pie or
mashed potato cakes.
Can you roll chocolate potato candy into balls instead of cutting it into bars?
If you’d prefer more bite-size treats, you can definitely roll your chocolate potato candy into balls instead. Just keep in mind—when you put each potato candy ball onto the foil to freeze, make sure they’re not touching so they don’t get stuck together.
How long will chocolate potato candy last for?
With time, chocolate potato candy will dry out. For freshest results, eat within 3-5 days. If you liked this chocolate potato candy recipe, try this
