Potato Candy is a nostalgic, melt-in-your-mouth treat that’s surprisingly easy to make at home. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up these sweet, creamy pinwheels that are perfect for holidays or anytime you need a little sugar fix.
This candy is one of those vintage recipes that grandmas used to make during the Depression era, when ingredients were scarce and creativity was everything. It’s basically a simple confection made with mashed potatoes, powdered sugar, and peanut butter, rolled up into adorable little pinwheels. The result? Something that tastes remarkably like a Reese’s cup but in candy form. Mind. Blown.
The best part? You only need a handful of ingredients, and you probably have them in your kitchen right now. No candy thermometer, no complicated techniques, no fancy equipment. Just mix, roll, spread, and slice. It’s so easy that kids can help make it (and they’ll get a kick out of the potato part, I guarantee it).
