These two sweet treats—Peanut Butter Potato Candy and Potato Joys—are classic candy recipes that incorporate mashed potatoes in surprising and delicious ways. Peanut Butter Potato Candy features a creamy potato dough rolled with peanut butter and dusted with powdered sugar, while Potato Joys resemble Almond Joys without the almonds, made with coconut, a rich chocolate topping, and a hint of vanilla. Both are sweet, indulgent, and a great way to use up mashed potatoes in an unexpected, tasty way!
