Classic St. Patrick’s Day candy that looks like little potatoes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 (16 ounce) packages confectioners' sugar, or to taste
- 1 (14 ounce) package shredded coconut, or to taste
- 1/3 cup light corn syrup (such as Karo®)
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup ground cinnamon, or as needed
Directions
Step 1
Place softened butter in a large bowl. Add confectioners' sugar, coconut, corn syrup, and vanilla extract; mix using your hands until combined. Knead until it holds together but is not too sticky, adding more sugar and coconut, if needed.
Step 2
Place cinnamon on a plate. Form the mixture into small, round balls and roll in the cinnamon until coated and they look like tiny potatoes.
Cook’s Note:
The same filling can be used for coconut Easter eggs. Just shape into eggs and dip into melted chocolate.
