CANDY RECIPE included. I finished making the Sweet Potato Candy recipe yesterday. I must say they are delicious. I made 3 kinds, the original cinnamon, chocolate, and peanut butter pin wheels. The problem is we couldn't stop tasting them as they were being made. There is no cooking involved, easy to make, and fun. If you decide to make the candy and you have any questions let me know. It's pretty simple. Here is what you will need.

1/2 lb. Butter
1/2 lb. Margarine
1 medium can of cinnamon
6 lbs of 10X sugar
1 cup of Pet Milk
2 tsp. Vanilla extract

If you like cocoanut you can mix in 2 cups of flaky cocoanut. (optional)

cream butter and margarine by hand into a large pat. ( fondant) This means squish it together with your hands.
Add vanilla
Add sugar and milk gradually as you work it into the butter and margarine. Mix by hand till fondant becomes smooth enough to roll into small balls. (hint: after washing hands from mixing I use a little cooking oil on my hands so the fondant doesn't stick to my fingers)

Line a cookie sheet with wax paper, pinch off a small part of the fondant and roll between hands till cigar shaped. Cover with cinnamon (in a bowl) and line up on cookie sheet. Let dry over night in a cool place.
Store in plastic bags or tins.

Peanut Butter Pin Wheels :
Use the same fondant base. Take a handful of fondant and roll out flat with a rolling pin between 2 pieces of waxed paper. ( like a pie crust ) Remove top piece of waxed paper. Spread 1/4" thick coating of smooth peanut butter. Roll up like a jelly roll. Cover with waxed paper and put in the refrigerator for several hours. When firm enough, cut 1/4 to 1/2" slices and place on a cookie sheet. Dry out over night. Then eat and enjoy.

You can use Hershey's cocoa chocolate powder to roll in instead of cinnamon. I usually use the chocolate after rolling fondant in to little balls instead of cigar shape. You can roll with nuts etc. Just about anything you would like to use.

The main thing is to have fun and enjoy. They make a nice little present for friends and family.
