Irish Potato Candy

Step 1

In a large bowl, beat together the butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the vanilla and powdered sugar and beat again to fully incorporate.

Step 2

Using a wooden spoon, or your hands if needed, mix in the coconut. Chill mixture until semi-firm, about 30 minutes.

Step 3

Roll chilled mixture into oblong balls that resemble potatoes.

Step 4

Place cinnamon in a shallow dish and roll candies in cinnamon to coat.

Step 5

Arrange on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and chill once again until firm. Enjoy!
