3/4 cup hot mashed potatoes
1/4 lb butter (1/2 cup)
7 ounces flaked coconut
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
2 lbs icing sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
12 ounces chocolate chips
1 paraffin wax block

Steps:

  • Place sugar, salt, coconut in bowl with softened butter.

  • Pack mixture into 9 x 13 pan.
  • Cool in fridge.
  • Cut into 1 1/2 inch squares.
