It's not what you think!!! It's yer standard earth apple, sweetened.
I kid you not.
Was thumbing through the Great British Potato Recipes book, thinking that having put some meaty stuff up in an effort to make all feel welcome, I needed to return to the more vege options ... and had entirely forgotten there are several dessert options! The best chocolate is the very dark, unsweetened variety. Such chocolate is a vegetable. Such chocolate is medicine. The fondant part is the killer...
In order not to have too much drooling on keyboards happening, I had a go at creating a likeness with mouse and software.
PEPPERMINT CREAMS
8oz/225gm icing sugar
1oz/25gm cooked potato, sieved
few drops oil of peppermint
2 teasp/10ml water
a little green food colouring
4oz/125gm chocolate, melted.
Beat the icing sugar and potato until the mix forms 'breadcrumbs' texture.
Add enough colouring to make pale green, add peppermint oil to taste. Beat in water gradually until lightly bound together.
Take a spoonful of the paste and form into a ball, and repeat till mixture all formed. Dip into chocolate and leave to set.
...if you can...

Mom says she is not a peppermint fan but the chocolate wouldn't last!

Mom LOVES those York peppermint patties even though she's not a big chocolate eater. We'll have to try those.
