Preparation:
While the mashed potatoes are still hot, beat in the powdered sugar and coconut; then add the vanilla extract.
Press into a lightly greased 8-inch square pan.
In a saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate and butter, stirring occasionally. When melted, pour over top of the potato mixture. Refrigerate until set and then cut into squares.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
You can use your imagination and make changes like using Marshmallow Fluff, White Chocolate and Peppermint Extract, during Christmas, or shape into logs and roll in nuts etc.
