Maine Needhams

Created by MimiMaine on January 23, 2012

2 teaspoons vanilla
1 (12 ounce) package chocolate chips
4 squares unsweetened chocolate squares
1/2 paraffin wax block--the same paraffin you melt to use on top of jam to seal it (2 1/2 x 2 1/2)

Step 1: Pare, cook, and mash potato to make three-quarters of a cup; add salt.
Step 2: Using a double boiler, place butter in it and melt over boiling water; add the mashed potato, confectioners sugar, flaked coconut, and vanilla.
Step 3: Mix well and turn into a well-buttered jelly roll pan and spread evenlyg; place in a cool place to harden (I put it in the refrigerator for a short time) and when hard, cut into small 1"-1 1/4" squares
Step 4: FOR DIPPING: Again use a double boiler; place paraffin and both chocolates in the top of the pan over boiling water to melt; mix well.
Step 5: With a fork or toothpick, dip into the choclate mixture, holding the square over the chocolate mixture after dipping so the square drains well; place on waxed paper to harden.
Step 6: Should make about 66 good sized Needhams----this recipe halves easily if you want a smaller batch.
