Easy Potato Candy Bonbons

Ingredients

• 1 small baking potato
• 1-2 teaspoon milk or cream
• 1-2 lb confectioners' sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 2 cups miniature dark chocolate chips

Directions

1. 1

   Peel and boil potato.

2. 2

   Drain water, mash with fork, and add milk.

3. 3

   Use beaters on high speed to make as fluffy and LUMP-free as possible.

4. 4

   Add almond flavoring, still beating.

5. 5

   Either use beaters or a spoon and add confectioner's sugar, a little at a time. Sugar and potato have a chemical reaction that makes the potatoes look like they are melting.

6. 6

   Keep adding sugar until the melting effect is almost completely gone and the mixture is forming a stiff dough.

7. 7

   Knead in chocolate chips (as many as the dough will hold, or enough to suit to taste.)

8. 8

   Immediately form into little balls, walnut-sized or smaller. I like to put them into mini cupcake papers (red) or whatever works best with the season, and to leave them in mini cupcake pans to dry and finish hardening.
