I thought these were common, but apparently theyre just from the Philadelphia area. Have any of you had them? If not make some they're delicious.
Also idk wtf the article is talking about. There are no potatoes in any Irish potato ive ever had.

They sell these at the record store I go to, they have a lot of classic and obscure candy there. I'll have to pick one up because I love potatoes in many forms but I havent had them as a dessert type thing.

I think when I looked at it the wrapper said it was made in Philadelphia so its probably what you had.

Quote from: wikipedia;1899105One can make powdered sugar at home by putting normal granulated sugar in a coffee grinder or grinding it by hand in a mortar and pestle.
you might as well just take a spoon and eat your sugar strait out of the bag. saves time.
