Homemade Idaho Spuds Candy image

My Dad absolutely loves Idaho Spuds candy. I wanted to surprise him with a homemade version. I tried and tried and finally I do believe I have nailed it. At least he tells me that I have. Every Christmas he looks forward to seeing these in his goodie box.

2 eggs (beaten) if not wanting to use real eggs can substitute powdered eggs and water to equal 2 large eggs
1 lb powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
tiny pinch of salt
1 c milk chocolate chips
2 Tbsp butter
10 oz mini marshmallows
2 c finely shredded coconut or finely chopped nuts

  • 2. In a large mixing bowl mix well the beaten eggs, powdered sugar, vanilla and salt. Add the melted chocolate and butter mixture. Stir to combine. Then add the mini- marshmallows and combine well. May have to use your hands to really mix it all up. Don't be afraid to get your hands gooey.
