My children love this candy, however, I usually don't put vanilla in it. I can give that a try this year. five stars

This is one of my family favorite candies! Our mom used to make it every Christmas. A variation is to lightly sprinkle coconut over the peanut butter before rolling it up. five stars

Love this! Very Very sweet! Learned this from my grandma. Easy kid-friendly treat. Being a chocolate lover--I sometimes dip one end of each piece into melted chocolate. five stars

I made these when I was a kid. My sisters & I loved making these during easter. When my sister passed away a few years ago, I thought I'd never find this recipe again! Thank you! five stars

I could not believe it when I found this recipe online! I was so excited to see it!! These used to be one of my late husband's favorites at Christmastime, and my former mother-in-law used to make them all the time. I am putting this recipe in my recipe book, and will be making these for my family myself every year from now on. five stars

I have been making potato candy for years. This is a treat any time of the year using left over mashed potatoes. Just remember to keep it refrigerated, especially in the summer. five stars
