Snow Balls

Featured Recipe...

I was reading your recipe for potato candy with peanut butter, and I was reminded of the Snow Balls I made as a child. You just have to remember that a baked potato contains a lot of water and when you start adding the icing sugar it is quite soupy.
Start with a small potato.

Snow Balls

Bake a potato, remove skin, and mash.
Mix icing sugar in with a bit of vanilla until you can form small balls (a bit smaller than a golf ball).
Roll each ball into melted semi-sweet chocolate.
Roll into coconut.

Set these out on a plate and put in fridge to set up.

Cheerio Clusters

My kids loves these, so does my hubbie! We make them on the weekends as our movie snack or anytime the kids want a quick treat. They take 5 minutes and only use 4 ingredients.

1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. corn syrup (I use the light)
1 c. smooth peanut butter
2 1/2 - 3 c. Cheerios or similar cereal

Mix sugar and corn syrup in a large pot and bring to a boil until bubbly. Quickly add peanut butter and stir until melted and smooth. Take off burner and mix in cheerios until coated. Drop by large spoonful onto ungreased cookie sheet. They set up really quickly. After about an hour they get too hard to eat, but mine never last more than 10 minutes :)
