Old Fashioned Potato Candy

6. Slice and Serve

1. Once your candy roll is chilled and firm, take it out of the refrigerator.
2. Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into pieces about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
3. Put your candy slices on a plate or in a container. If you’re stacking them, put wax paper between the layers.

Tips for Perfect Peanut Butter Potato Candy

While Old Fashioned No-Bake Candy is pretty easy to make, here are a few tips to help your candy turn out great every time:

• Use cold mashed potatoes: Make sure your mashed potatoes are completely cool before you start. Warm potatoes can melt the powdered sugar and make your dough too sticky.
• Don’t mix too much: Mix until just combined to avoid making the candy tough.
• Chill well: Don’t rush the chilling process. The candy needs to be firm to slice cleanly.
• Use a sharp knife: A dull knife can squish your candy as you’re trying to slice it.
• Store it right: Keep your candy in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should last for about a week.

Try These Variations of Classic Potato Candy

One great thing about Old Fashioned Potato Candy is how easy it is to change up. Here are a few different versions you might want to try:

Different Nut Butters

While peanut butter is traditional, you can use any nut butter you like. Almond butter, cashew butter, or even sunflower seed butter for those with nut allergies can work well.

Add Some Spice

Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to your dough for a warm, spicy flavor.

Chocolate Lover’s Version

Spread a thin layer of Nutella instead of peanut butter for a chocolatey twist.
