It's the final day of our Irish Food-a-Palooza.....
(Earlier this week we had Colcannon & Eggs, and Shepherd's Pie & Roasted Parsnips.)
These Irish Potato Candies are really kind of addictive, and so easy! I wouldn't save them just for St. Patrick's Day- make them anytime. Kids love to make them, and there is no cooking involved. Just mix up a few ingredients and roll into balls.
They don't contain any potato, and I have discovered that they aren't even actually Irish.. But we always had them in school around St. Patrick's Day when I was growing up... maybe because I live near Philadelphia where they originated.
Irish Potato Candy
4 oz. cream cheese
2 tbsp. butter
1 lb. confectioner's sugar
1/2 c. shredded coconut
Cinnamon & sugar mix
I hope you will give this recipe a try! It's easy and delicious (aka the perfect recipe...)
Happy Weekend :)
Oh my, these sounds delicious but can my hips handle it. :)
ReplyDeleteYou can use light cream cheese and save a few calories :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe. I'm a sucker for anything with cream cheese. Do they need to be stored in the refrigerator?
ReplyDeleteYes Cindy they do need to be stored in the refrigerator. Sorry I left that part out- I will go back and add it to the recipe :)
DeleteThat's so easy and sounds so good!! I'll just HAVE to try it. ;)
ReplyDeleteYes you really should- it tastes even better than it sounds :)
