Yes this Christmas I am making many of Grandma's confections. The one I thought of was the little round potato balls w/different colors of food coloring, mostly red, green. Thanks for the recipe, but I don't remember peanut butter w/ the ball style. Thanks, I'll try both ways. Remember Carrot Jell-O?? & Ambrosia froze in Milk cartons?? Don't forget Karo Popcorn balls :) Merry Christmas five stars

Thank you so much for sharing. My dad made this every year during Christmas time just for me. He never did write it down or tell me how to make it. He passed away two years ago. Now that I found this recipe I can make it for my kids. five stars

I've passed my receipe on to my friends as well. I personally, use left over mashed potatoes (with milk & butter only) Using about a heaping tablespoonfull of the mashed potatoes, 1 box of confectioner sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, and peanut butter. Add the powdered sugar a little at a time. After a firm ball is formed, using wax paper (waxed side up) we then roll it out, then SLATHER on the peanut butter, roll up, slice and refrigerate. The potato ball needs to be kept chilled, or it will stick (if I remember correctly!)
Never has been enough left over to try to freeze :-) five stars
