- Melt chocolate and butter together over hot water. Blend in mashed potatoes, salt and vanilla. Mix well. Sift sugar. Add a small amount at a time. blending until no sugar is visible. When a spoon is no longer equal to the task of mixing, knead in the balance of the sugar with well-buttered hands.

Press into buttered 8 inch square pan and cut into squares or shape into balls and top each ball with a nut. Makes 1 1/4 pounds.
