A twist on the Maine favorite candy (Needhams), this version uses a sweet mashed potato and coconut base topped with chocolate and cut into squares.

30-60 minutes
ingredients
1 medium potato
1 pound powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 pound sweetened shredded coconut
1 (6-8 ounce size) giant Hershey chocolate candy bar, chopped
directions
Peel the potato and place in a pan of boiling water. Cook until soft. Drain the water and let the potato cool a little.
Mash the potato in a bowl with the powdered sugar and vanilla. Mix well, then stir in the coconut.
Spread the potato mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
Melt the chocolate in the top of a doubler boiler over simmering, not boiling water. Carefully remove the top of the double boiler and let the chocolate cool for 1 minute.
Spread the chocolate over the sweet mashed potatoes. Let the candy cool to room temperature.
Use a knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry to cut the mashed potato candy into squares.
Store the candy in an airtight container.

Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
