Its interesting, but I may as well save the trouble and just eat some of the chocolate chips. A one ounce serving of Nestle semi sweet chips has 70 calories, sooooo.....

Go figure that im the outlier here. .. chocolate and potatoes isn't the worst combo ever. For instance, Alton Brown recommends using leftover sweet potatoes in place of marshmallows to makes s'mores...and that's great stuff! Also, there's the Ben and Jerry's ice cream with chocolate and potato chips (the Jimmy Fallon one)..
...and potato candy is a thing....so who knows..0 -
I just want a real Cadbury egg, the ones Hershey makes here in the US are no bueno. Wonder how much they are on Amazon... *sigh*.0

LOL @ the writer of that versionI’ve actually never eaten a real Cadbury Creme egg.
It's "healthy" ice cream and peaches. A very very very tiny amount at that. That's how it's only 23 calories.0 -
That means Jack in the Box will create a Cadbury Cream Egg Shake with bacon to compete.0

So I have to chime back in again, because my rage over tainting chocolate with potatoes can not be silenced. As a chef I understand the reason behind trying to use the mashed potatoes as a binding agent. But just because you can use something, does not mean you should use it. So there is a South American sweet potato called the boniato, that is the potato I would use for this, if I were twisted enough to do it. It would cut down on the amount of powdered sugar you would need to add, and with it being naturally sweet, it would not have that odd potato, powdered sugar taste to it. In place of the smart balance buttery stick I would find something with a little less chemically taste to it, like a small amount of unsalted butter, softened to room temperature. As for coating it in chocolate I still can not imagine chocolate covered mashed potatoes.

I share your distaste for these 2 things. So unfortunately we cannot swap the Easter basket goods.
Maybe thats why this recipe is so off putting to me...since the original I wouldnt enjoy either.0 -

I can enjoy salty with sweet.
A crunchy chocolate covered potato chip doesnt sound bad to me.
Chocolate covered mashed - no. Salty and sweet this potato has not.0 -
I remember learning that during the war, the Brits used to use mashed potatoes in a sweet dish - sounds ...um..unique, but here is a website that seeks to recreate wartime recipes by a woman who is also on a weight loss adventure of her own! I thought, well - isnt that a brilliant segue!! So here it is:

AND... wasnt there a big stink in Britain about Cadbury changing the recipe for their chocolate on said chocolate covered eggs? Does anyone know how that ended up - did they change back (cuz Cadburys has not gone out of business)0

Me too. I stupidly forgot they're different over here and bought one. Yuck. How could Hershey's turn something so good into something so gross?0 -
Did you know there are Oreo Creme Eggs? (oh sorry, you have to smuggle them across the border from Canada!)0

Probably. But still - that seems like a lot of work for little reward. If I'm going to that much trouble to make sweets, it's going to be opera fudge or Aunt Bill's brown candy (don't ask, I didn't name it). The brown candy even has a nice micronutrient profile - lots of pecans!0 -

Fair enough, though I might prefer them over the actual Cadbury eggs...those are pretty awful, too, at least the ones here in the US!0 -

Low calories, but how big is each serving? Anything can be low calories per serving if you cut it into tiny enough pieces.0 -

It's available in Canada as well. My sister and her husband bought some yesterday. No idea if you can get it anywhere else yet.0
