Cakespy: Chocolate Covered Potato Kisses

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon brown sugar for flavor (optional; )
• 1 tablespoon butter 
• 12 ounces chocolate chips 
• 1 pound powdered sugar sifted
• 0.5 cup potatoes hot mashed
• 0.8 cup coconut sweetened flaked
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla 

Equipment

• frying pan
• baking sheet
• sauce pan
• baking paper
• mixing bowl
• double boiler
• skewers

Directions

1. Cover a countertop area or large baking sheet with waxed or parchment paper.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes and butter, mixing well. Gradually add the sugar(s), blending until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract and coconut; if the dough is too thick or won't hold together, add the milk or cream.
3. Roll into balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and put in the freezer for about an hour.
4. In a medium saucepan or double boiler, melt the chocolate morsels over low heat. Once melted, remove the truffles from the freezer and coat each one in chocolate, using a skewer or fork, tapping each against the side of the pan to drip off excess.
5. Transfer to your sheet of parchment or waxed paper; add sprinkles if you'd like them to have a decorative finish.
6. Let set for about 2 1/2 hours before serving.
